there's no reason we can't have both. Uber can always have an option to disable ads if the user isn't interested in saving money.

  Oh absolutely. While I despise advertising for my own personal reasons, I know that there are plenty of people out there who would happily accept a free, ad-based version of these services (assuming it's possible for this model to actually generate enough revenue).

    What would you do if Netflix/Amazon/Google/Apple started thinking it was acceptable to both display ads and charge you?

  I thought you were going the other way around. There's no reason that we can't have both: Uber could charge us and still show us ads. It works for Comcast.

    There is also heavy advertising on existing transit. Subways, buses, and taxis in New York are plastered with ads.
