You're not in the majority. A former coworker worked for a company that actually did what Uber has always claimed it does -- the app connected passengers to independent companies for a seamless experience.
What distinguished it from Uber is that the connection was made to livery companies who complied with labor law, and they therefore cannot really compete on price and struggle to gain traction.
