If the price of uber remained low then it probably would have reduced car ownership. but the price has at least doubled making it unaffordable for regular use.
I’m not sure why anyone expected Uber to stay cheap. It’s got the same costs as a traditional taxi, a car and a driver, so it’s priced similarly to a traditional taxi.
Never heard that Uber was supposed to help traffic. It was supposed to reduce car ownership, which it might reduced, but only by a tiny bit.
