re: Is Uber dying?

In Vegas a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t get an Uber once in 5 days. Very few drivers were out there, and if you requested one it would be a minimum of 30 minutes. I couldn’t even get anyone to accept a trip. Every place had a huge group of people outside waiting a long time for their ubers, but cabs were still everywhere.
It’s a combination of unemployment payments, and the fact that if a city/state is still under a state of emergency, the drivers cannot charge surge pricing (at least that’s how it was in Vegas). The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze for the drivers right now. Can’t say I blame them.

That’s so strange. Both Lyft and Uber are fine here in Austin. My cousin who lives here uses Uber way more than me and has no issues.
My wife had trouble with Lyft in Orlando but Uber worked fine. If I had to guess, things will probably pick back up this summer and slowly return to normal once NFL and college football season starts and stadiums will be at full capacity. Same with NHL, NBA, etc next year.
