I know very little about the politics of Uber, never used it in the UK, but always use it overseas. When travelling in the US, away from friends who's cars I normally borrow, I must have used Uber dozens of times.
All my conversations with the drivers told me that they enjoyed the flexibility.... they all worked part time in addition to their full time jobs, sometimes two hours here or there. I've saved a small fortune using their services around large cities, and the service was always spot on. Friendly drivers, decent cars, great prices, and being able to track the inbound taxi on your phone app.
