Have taxis disappeared from the streets of New York? LA? Chicago? Toronto? Montreal? Seattle?
Why are you assuming taxis will disappear?
Assuming that the market for taxis didn't get bigger simply because Uber and others appeared, it stands to reason then that existing taxis are seeing fewer fares and/or have scaled back their fleets. I guess that fewer people could now be biking or taking public transit because fares are cheaper with Uber, but I don't think that our local greenies would pursue that argument!
I say takes the gloves off of everyone and let this settle out. Heck you may be able to get a ride from the airport to downtown for $10 if some retiree is just happy to be out of his house driving around and meeting people and doesn't care about making money!
