Or... Why you shouldn't use any ride sharing company. Numbers 4-6 are even more broad, they basically apply to any situation where you are required to use a credit card to pay (which identifies you), which is basically every single app. I'm empathetic to the issue that there is no way to anonymously take an Uber (a real downgrade as compared to cabs), but for your average person where a massive upgrade in convenience offsets the slight loss of anonymity, this is going to be a tough sell.

IMO you could use a ride sharing company where you're more anonymous. E.g. public transport :-P (though not in my country :()
