My brother-in-law doesn't drive in a city that is severely lacking in mass transit, so he was very used to the taxi apps before Uber came along. Now, he exclusively uses Uber. It's faster, more reliable, and there's no question at all about how payment will work out.
More interestingly, friends and family who previously never took taxis have started to use Uber regularly on nights that they know they may be out drinking. Also, I can think of at least five instances in the last six months where a too drunk to drive friend was put in an Uber by other friends, again without worry about how it was going to be paid for. I don't have the need (Graham doesn't drink, so I always have a designated driver), but I wasn't surprised at the claim that duis are down in cities with Uber.
