If you don't have a large pool, you can't provide convenience.

When I order an Uber, I want it now. I won't be waiting 1hr for it.

As a counterpoint, living in a remote area, scheduling a ride 1h in advance is a lot better than not having a ride at all; that would be plenty to e.g. drop my car off at a mechanic / pick it up, without begging for rides.
