Looking at it from my consumer perspective Uber is net positive - even if it ends up being unsustainable and goes bust eventually. The prices in the local taxi market didn't go down a few % it got fractionally cheaper - it went from being barely affordable and only used in exceptional cases to a substitute for car ownership and not having to think about using it (depending on your daily commute). The market expanded incredibly around here.
Also traveling around with Uber is a great experience (in countries that didn't ban it) - the service has been consistent across Europe and it's another thing I don't have to worry about when travelling - not having to navigate public transport or roads in a foreign country while also being relatively sure you're not getting ripped off by the local taxi service is amazing.
