> taxi usage is at least somewhat up

When's the last time you phoned an operator to book a taxi? If taxis are doing better, it's only because they learned from Uber (and the likes) what the job-to-be-done actually is.

Mytaxi (freenow) was founded the same year as Uber.

I'm unclear what your point is, weren't mytaxi an "outsider" startup like Uber too, rather than being organized by the taxi companies?
