regarding last mile transportation, it's worth noting that Uber employees themselves not infrequently take Uber from 4th and Kings station to their office at 10th and Market, which is only a few miles away.

Uber employees also get a lot of Uber credits as part of their compensation package. I'd be curious to see how many would still use Uber if it cost money out-of-pocket.

What I meant by "last mile transportation" was the transportation of physical goods, like packages, mail, delivery food, etc. Drivers could probably fit a couple of these "errands" in at no loss, while increasing the efficiency of last mile transportation/delivery for the services seeking to deliver goods.
