Before 2012 (when I started using Uber), I took a cab (outside of NYC) maybe 5 times in a year. Today, I take an uber 5 times a week. This is anecdotal but I am sure that's the market growth investors are looking at.
- keithpeter 12y agoSo is Uber 50x cheaper than taxis, or is it cheaper than your own car/pubic transport? Note: I pay a flat monthly fee for transport (public) around £1200 a year. Trans, trams, buses.
- caublestone 12y agoPrice is not the issue for me. It's the service quality and convenience. I used taxi's to get home from bars and I would say 50% of the time I would have a problem (card machine doesn't work, don't go to my address, won't accept 3 people). Uber eliminated the friction.
