Uber needed a HUGE pool of labor to draw on for its success, traditional cab companies couldn’t handle it even if they weren’t fucking scummy.

I hate Uber but I’m not crying for the cab industry. Fuck those guys too.

No. The can industry still sucks ass today, even with the apps. They are all independent with little accountability. Uber fixed that and forced those fuckers out of their service. Uber is just a flat out better service.
