The problem isn't Uber, the problem is taxis. Taxi drivers sit in the middle of the road, hold up traffic, and are generally poor drivers with zero incentive to allow traffic to move past them. How many times have you seen taxi drivers cause gridlock or sit on the horn non-stop?
Uber allows riders to hop in the car and hop out upon arrival, instead of the terrible process where taxis sit in the middle of the road for 40-60 seconds at the rider pays and exits.
Also, if the subways were on-time and consistent, thousands of people wouldn't NEED to rely on Uber to get around...
