It seems to have a lot of very happy customers, and is being cited as a
reason wny TfL's tube and bus growth has stalled.
Which is odd, because their normal clients should be taxi and private
hire car users.

By making taxis much more convenient they have dramatically increased
the size of the market.


Actually, by "employing" people on less than NWM in order to make the fares
significantly cheaper they have expanded the market

It remains to be seen whether that expansion will remain when TPTB
eventually put in rule that makes Uber pay their drivers NMW (which they are
minded to do when they can work out how)
