Chart: Just how big is Uber in New York, Los Angeles? Hint: it’s big

Despite governments at all levels attempting to curtail the growth of Uber and to protect their financial supporters in the taxi industries, the ride-sharing app doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon. As the chart (via American Enterprise Institute) below suggests, Uber is massive, and has become a dominant force in some of the biggest cities. In some cases, there are more Uber cars than taxicabs – of course, vice versa, but that’s quickly changing. Overall, Uber is providing a service that is far superior to taxis, and the latter doesn’t want to innovate just legislate.
