I suppose it's hard to see what the future will hold, but at least in London there's Gett and Freenow, and a lot of the traditional players like Addy Lee now have apps of varying quality. As you point out, stuff like Deliveroo might not have existed without Uber.
Not quite the same as metal rails running up the country I agree, but I think in hindsight Uber will be remembered as a significant innovation. Think Napster.
Well if I’m thinking Napster then first to mind is Spotify and Apple music, both of which are profitable and here to stay. But even if Uber gets mismanaged and driven into the ground Lyft or one of the other competitors would take over with more or less the same product.
