Yea, one of the reasons uber is so popular is because it is cheaper and faster in most places. The business model sucks for the drivers, but it is mostly an upgrade to taxi services for people who use it to commute.
It sucks for drivers, which is why it's cheaper, I guess. That has to change, because that money clearly belongs on the executive, not translated into savings to customers!
