Today I took and Uber and a taxi for the same trip and Uber was considerably cheaper. This was in Europe.

Yea, one of the reasons uber is so popular is because it is cheaper and faster in most places. The business model sucks for the drivers, but it is mostly an upgrade to taxi services for people who use it to commute.
