I feel like I'm repeating myself - yes, it is, in 2017.

In 2007 it was nothing like it. It became like it after people started cloning Uber.

Did cities with monopolies start dropping the monopolies in the last decade? I lived in a city that dropped the monopoly before Uber so I haven't noticed the change in the last decade.
