Sure, but that dispatch is a "middleman" for the service provider. The bigger that middleman becomes the more they may be able to offer. The dispatcher will take a cut of the taxi fares.
The best ubering I have ever done is in foreign countries. I don't have to speak the language and get significant reduction on tourist prices. Scale provides tremendous value.
