Surprise! Now that they've mostly killed off taxi companies, their rates will be the same as taxi companies. Who could've seen that coming? Oh wait.
One could argue, and I will anecdotally, that these companies have brought a much higher standard of service into an industry renowned for providing terrible (at best) service. So if the outcome is that the price has fluctuated back to the norm, but the service provided is of a higher quality, then the consumer has won. What will be interesting to see is what consequences will arise from a corresponding drop in deman…
They did not win based on their "higher standard of service", but based on their price, which was only possible due to their non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
