Is there any evidence of this? My assumption was that people are using Uber in situations where they otherwise would have called a regular taxi.
- mateo411 12y agoI think the demand for taxi services has gone up since Uber entered the marketplace. Uber made it easier to call a cab and see when the cab would show up. Since the product was easier and better, more people wanted to use it. I don't have any hard data to support my claim. I can provide some anecdata about waiting for a Yellow Cab in SF in the mid 2000s. Sometimes they would arrive and other times they wouldn't.
