Nobody is commenting on the middleman insight? Something I don't understand about uber is it sounds like a dating service. If I met my wife on a dating service, I'd pay for the privilege at that time, but I wouldn't continue paying the dating service a piecework fee every time we have sex after 14 years of marriage. Likewise whats the middleman solution to "Oh thanks for the ride, I'll pay uber $10 and you say they pay you $5... well how about you come by my house exactly a week later and I'll drop you personally $7 cash tax free and heres my phone number to coordinate and ..." The middleman cannot be avoided in top 40 pop music 99 cent song downloads, but it seems pretty easy to work around for taxi-like service.
