>Uber is far superior to a once-an-hour bus service
Hardly surprising that it provides a superior service when Uber subsidizes up to 60% of the passenger fares.
Their entire business model does, however, rely upon jacking up prices substantially at some point, to both recoup those losses and to make shareholders happy.
The question you should ask yourself isn't "is Uber superior now?" but "is it superior if it's 3x the price it is now?".
