Been using Uber for years up north and the numerous times I have looked around since I moved down here just for fun I may have seen at most 2, sometimes one and often none. Obviously I don't look 24/7 but only when I may have been wondering. It's possible they could have been dropping off from elsewhere theyand are not required to accept a pickup. I always thought it would be a good part time job around here but from what one friend who did it elsewhere in FL told me that getting rides to go on errands for a couple miles just wasn't worth it. In order to be useful around here the drivers would have to hang out here and unless s/he lives here probably wouldn't be worth it. They would never cover their crazy insurance bill if they told their ins company they were driving commercially.
Edit: Right now 4PM Wed there are none Don't get what looks like Uber cars confused with the little black Golf Course or Walmart or other POI markers on the map
Edit Edit: Sorry, there is one in front of the hospital.
