I&#x27;ve put my answer a bit higher in the thread: because the competition and customer experience are currently so much worse.  (Lyft hasn&#x27;t arrived in my city yet.)  Some of the competitors here have used shady tactics against Uber as well, I&#x27;ve had taxi drivers pull up pretending to be my Uber driver.<p>If a competitor can match or exceed Uber&#x27;s service, I&#x27;d consider switching.  The convenience of travelling interstate &#x2F; overseas &amp; using the same service I use at home is quite compelling though.
