Transporting people who have no other practical means of transportations is a great thing/ And the old school taxi services were frequently a mess.

But yes, Uber's tactics are crap. They completely ignore any worker and consumer protection laws. They do not help their drivers run a successful small business by educating them on financial planning or customer service. And the entitled frat-boy mentality of Travis K has lead to a toxic, cut throat corporate culture. with sexual harassment and bullying as SOP.

All this while losing billions of investor $$$s per year. They are destroying the traditional cab companies, but it is starting to look like a murder suicide.
