Addison Lee in London had been going strong (and still is very strong, with significant advantages over Uber) and that hasn't stopped Uber getting a significant presence.

Think the key difference is that Addison Lee provides the vehicles for their drivers, and their drivers have little leeway to refuse certain rides.

But Uber drivers provide their own vehicles, and can choose rides as desired.
