Default TfL Taxi Consultation to "kill" Uber

In message , at 15:05:13 on Mon, 5 Oct

the pavement outside the venue in the pouring rain, or perhaps five
minutes earlier when they are inside in the warm and can more
comfortably use their phone to order a car to arrive in five minute's
time?


Since thats exactly how people used to order minicabs I'm wondering what
exactly is the killer selling point of Uber. Other than it means Aspergers
types don't actually have to talk to a person and get all stressed.


The USP appears to be a much larger pool of available drivers nearby
than ringing the phone number of some random minicab company.
