Only 15 percent of Americans have used Uber or Lyft

Wait, you're saying the hype of a Silicon Valley startup doesn't match reality? Next you'll tell me Santa isn't real.

Believe it or not, a lot of people live in the flyover states, or for that matter, in the flyover parts of California and New York.

Cities like Syracuse are asking for Uber to come in and they are being told to talk to the hand; it is like asking Verizon for FiOS expansion.

That's a rather questionable use of "only" ...

That seems surprisingly high to me. I bet there are a lot of areas where people never use taxis or Uber. I think the first time I was in a taxi was in my twenties.
