Via FiveThirtyEight.com

Uber has become a common household name. As dealt in the article's topic, travel and cost of travel can be optimized by combining Uber and transit options. The article uses New York City as an example, and compares the use of Uber, taxis, and public transit availability versus household income. The cost break even decision? Buying a car, or, where available, use public transit complemented with Uber for 15-30% of trips.

What the article doesn't fully address is the alternatives to Uber, such as cycling, carpools, or even using car rental services such as ZipCar that are available in cities other than New York.
