People forget just how terrible the Taxi industry was before Uber showed up too. Uber has plenty of problems, but you can be in the Taxi in 5 minutes and there are no surprise fees and you don't need to carry cash and you don't have to sit on hold for 20 minutes waiting for the dispatcher to pick up. The old taxi industry killed itself. Once there was any alternative it was dead.
