"Uber being popular" is probably just an American thing.

I can imagine mild popularity in Berlin, but I (living in a smallish town near a middle-to-big city) don't think I know anybody who has ever taken an Uber.

Not because of how scummy Uber is, but because it's nearly irrelevant.

It's only notoriety and relevance stems from it's legal troubles.

It was a great improvement in Budapest over the scumbag taxis.

Now of course the taxi lobby got it banned, but there's something called taxify instead, of course it's the homegrown version by some blessed local firm.
