Uber isn't just taking bookings away from taxis, it's taking drivers. It would be interesting to see a study of how cab company fleet sizes change after Uber arrives in town.

Uber raised the bar in terms of user experience, so the industry is scrambling to react. No harm with a little competition. My company (Pocketworks) do a taxi app in the UK that's effectively competing with Uber.

Does anyone know if Ubers long term plan is around disrupting logistics? Having a network of drivers that can move anything on demand would be really powerful.
