> Uber/Lyft were far cheaper than other options when they launched until they put everything else out of business, then jacked up the price

Source? Particularly inflation adjusted? Uber, specifically, started out as black cars only.



Rides were like $4-7. A ride over $10 was rare.


I took a ride home two nights ago for under $7. On the other hand, I tend to avoid Ubers in New York (versus taxis), but that’s one part local demand and one part local regulation.
