NICE WHILE IT LASTED

Uber shook up the market

Uber undercut established taxi and cab markets and put pressure on governments to rewrite laws to help pave the way for an app-based, gig-economy model of work that has since proliferated across the world.

For most consumers, probably, the benefits outweigh the means. Even if Uber is now reined in, or disappears, the way we get taxis has changed forever.
