Sure, Uber will be sustainable, but only when the price of each ride increases to the point where Taxis are price competitive again. At which point, why would people use an Uber, when they can use a taxi at the same price?

There are benefits to Ubers, but 90% of people I know only use them because they are cheaper than a taxi.

Software, and the ease of getting one. If I want a taxi, I have to google for local taxis, call and hope they pick up, talk to someone who seemingly is always pissed about answering the phone, be lucky enough to speak to someone who I can understand, hope they actually show up, THEN deal with payment that is never available in the cab, and wait while they call in your credit card number to home base. It's a terrible experience.

If the price is the same, the newer and cleaner cars are why I'd stick with an Uber.
