Not really. It was a Ponzi scheme using people who needed rides as props that showed Uber their market. Uber has never charged enough money to pay for their services. If they had, they would have been more expensive than cabs and they never would have caught on. Their business model does not work, couldn’t replace the entrenched system, and we have little-to-no reason to think that growing pains in a new system wouldn’t produce something very much like the old system (which was essentially haggled out over generations in response to various problems it caused).
