They do add some value. They don't add any value above a taxi company/cooperative with a decent app.

At least one bit of the value is that you do not have to install new app or two in every city you go to. I wish something like this existed for parking payments.

I'd be happy if I was even allowed to install the parking application in the first place. When I went back to Sweden last time to visit my family, I rented a car but when I wanted to park I wasn't able to install the application since my account is not Swedish.

Only having to install one app to get a consistent experience around the world is high value for me as a user.
