So they just drive around an area waiting for a radio call to pick someone up?
I doubt that.


No, they park up in strategic locations waiting for such calls.

Even if they did , its still a call from a central dispatch
office, not a direct call from a customer which is the crucial difference.


Uber has a "central dispatch office", it's just electronic. The call
is not direct, it goes via the servers which allocate the vehicle. You
can't choose which one you get.
