How did people move around in those countries before 2010?
By taxis that got deprecated by Uber because taxi costs more, and you are not certain which price will it be in the end, and for convenience. Now if you want to get a car to get you somewhere you have to get an Uber; otherwise you will be waiting for quite a while. It is not a reality I like, but it is a reality in some countries.

Taxis. But those were put out of business by Uber.
