Yeah I actually really like the idea of a true ride sharing app. Think of people taking commuter rail from the city center out to suburbia. There are lots of people that need to go from the train station to their home everyday. Many of them live less 10 minutes apart. Carpools kinda work but what if someone is late, or the driver is sick etc etc. A true ride sharing service would be awesome.

Taxi services in some (many? most?) areas were abusing their monopolies, but I don't think uber is the right way to fix that.
