Ive only used Uber in Boston and honestly it wasnt necessary. Used them to/from the fenway area and to the airport. Cabs were everywhere
In nola I've never had a problem getting a cab in the am to the airport, call the night before and the cab is waiting outside. However, if you want a ride at the end of the night cabs in nola do not service residents well. They only look for short fares.
The niche that uber/lyft would fit in nola is needed. Took me an hour to get a cab from downtown to jazz fest last year. Cab call centers suck they might dispatch them to you but they pick up other fares instead.

Well it would obviously be less necessary in the northeast and in large cities with good public transportation and infrastructure.
It is great for southern cities and has been a huge hit on the west coast.
Cabs were way more expensive in NYC, but the Subway is the way to go there

Boston has too good of an infrastructure. Phoenix (Phoenix, Scottsdale,Tempe) is pretty spread out and there's almost no such thing as a train unless you live on its corridor. The laws here for drunk driving are killer too. Tent City is not a place you want to be especially with the rising temps. The taxis are friggin' expensive here too + distance = Uber is great in AZ.
