This is great run down of uber. Here in NYC, where cabs are much more common-place I still use uber from time to time. The thing is it's not meant to replace taxis, it's more of a luxury item than anything. When I can't find a cab or just would feel better hopping in a nicer car, I'll use uber to get somewhere. Not to mention that the drivers are more than happy to wait while I run in to a store to grab some beer or whatnot, whereas a cabby would never be ok with that. I'm very happy that they've been licensed in NYC, as it means they will be around for a while.
