I can understand the dislike of Uber but I find it incredibly useful and in many ways it does fill a necessary gap.
I very rarely use it in London but it hugely simplifies matters when travelling. It used to be the case that you'd have to phone a taxi company and try and order a taxi in a language you couldn't speak or download an app for every city you went to. In other places, like large parts of the US, there just wasn't an option at all and the choices were to hire a car or not be able to get anywhere.
Uber may not be the answer but there is undeniably a demand for that or something similar.
