It should be noted that Uber is not always the best option. I tried it in Bali and the prices were not only higher than Bluebird, but also not as prevalent.
Is this still the case?

For instance, I saw private transfer on Viator for DPS to Ubud and it's $64 each way.

I just checked Uber and it appears to be 201-280k Rp, which is around $20 at the top end?

Can Uber or Bluebird pick up or drop you off at DPS? I heard there is one taxi company with a monopoly there.

Can you pay by credit card within the Bluebird taxi app? Do those Bluebird taxis have air conditioning?
