Most European cities I've been in have way better public transportation than any US city, which makes Uber a much less valuable proposition. On top of that, taxis tend to be more professional, so even as a high-end option uber is less compelling.

taxis are also participating in the social security system : they pay taxes and therefore get social protection. Uber drivers don't get that. So basically Uber is pulling social security standards down. I understand they do fill a niche and they provide good service, but they have to play by the rules (esp. when the rules are here to help people).
Now you can always complain that the social security system is not efficient but that's an entirely different debate
