From a country which suffered from a notorious taxi mafia which is now basically extinct, Uber isn't game changing because it is cheaper.
It is game changing because now the drivers have a reputation from their previous customers and you know you won't be treated like a stupid mark at best, or sexually assaulted etc.
THAT was the game changer and good riddance to bad rubbish. Even such "tiny" details as the cars being clean and not smelly are, in fact, a major improvement in quality.
Old-style taxi guys had zero incentive to keep their cars clean. Many smoked in them outright.
