I've had the exact same interactions with Taxi drivers. Half of them are completely unprompted by myself, and the driver will bring up Uber and ask me if I like it. Our discussion is always about the benefits of Uber, and invariably after we exchange thoughts about how great it is, and how everybody loves it, one of us brings up, "Everyone, that is, except the dispatchers and Taxi companies". The drivers know, the customers know that this is changing the industry, many of the old models are being cast aside, and the only way some of the old guard can attempt to combat this is via lawsuits. Predictable, if sad. (note: I took an Uber cab to work today :p)
