What I find interesting is that Uber doesn&#x27;t seem to be having an effect on private car use.<p>From the article, in the busiest part of New York, &quot;Uber gained 3.10 million pickups, while taxis lost 3.09 million.&quot;<p>I read this to say that almost every Uber ride would have been a taxi ride if Uber did not exist. It doesn&#x27;t seem to be replacing private car use at all. If it were, we&#x27;d see Uber rides increasing faster than taxis ride are decreasing.
