That's odd to me. Everyone I know thinks that Uber is shady and uses Lyft. Very people use Flywheel in SF as it just gets you a cab. But at least a cab driver (generally) knows where they're going, rather than relying on GPS because they're from the East Bay and don't know the city at all.

Uber's app history of tracking people is also not great. I use Lyft when I can. Last time I used Uber was in New Orleans, and even then I used the mobile web version.
