I just came back from San Francisco and used uber multiple times a day - great service. Very happy to have them finally in Calgary - especially with the joke taxi service we have. Every single uber I took was extremely clean and every driver was nice.
One thing I was curious about is it seemed like it was a lot of peoples full time jobs. They get something like 70% or 75% of the fare. On average my trips were $6-$10 and my trips were 15 mins max. So I suppose you could live off that but I figured it would be difficult.
