And unlike the network effect where winner takes all, I doubt we'll all forget about taxis, and think, man, if only there was this yellow car I could stick my hand out to, and they'd give me a ride for cash.

There's always the thread of competition for Uber. Ironically, the thread from the very market they disrupted! I'm guessing Taxis 2.0 won't have medallions to worry about anymore, just the same regulations as any other ride sharing firm, with only one car.

But hey, I'll take subsidised rides from Uber for as long as they're offering them!
