> Not true in many countries where cash is supported in Uber.

I've taken Ubers in at least 7 countries, many of which have had a cash option (India and Vietnam), neither of which I took up. The average uber driver will have considerably less cash on them then the average cabbie.

> No payment is made in the vehicle, so faster exit times.

Only if you pay in cash.

> Uber uses any credit card, so your boss can pay for your ride without the need for separate expensing.

Uber supports having both a business and personal profile, which you can change before or during a ride. Every business uber I take has the receipt sent directly to my work email, and charged to my work CC.

There's at least one country I've been to (Egypt), where it's cash-only. Unsure if it's the standout, but I really wouldn't be surprised if there were others.
It's not true anymore, with the Careem acquisition.
