Uber helps out a lot with this

Kind of, but not really.

Yes, Uber solves the problem if you only need a couple of rides, say from the train station to a friend's house and back.

But if you need to have flexibility to visit various locations while you are in your destination city, Uber would get cost-prohibitive. A dozen rides adds up real quick.
