* Blacklane - cheaper than Uber Black, but the rides have to be pre-arranged (essentially a car service with UI)
* Wingz - cheaper than UberX, but only to/from airports
* Sidecar - cheaper than UberX, but with implied wait of up to an hour
* Leap buses - cheaper than UberX, but with set routes
If drivers are utilized at 100%, they will have very little reason to look around. But most of the services don't utilize (and hence don't pay) drivers for 100% of their time. Hence a myriad of phones with a bunch of identical apps on drivers' dashboards, and frantic search for 100% utilization (food delivery? shopping delivery? help with moving?) among the dispatcher services.

You just carve out a niche.
