I'd love to see some kind of universal "Hailing" API. Something that would allow a single app to coordinate rides wherever you go.
I travel as well, and really wish I didn't need to have an entire folder of transportation apps on my phone.
But alas, I have a feeling that many services would not go along with this because of direct competition in the same market area. And some probably just aren't sophisticated enough to publish an API, much less adopt a centralized / standardized interface.
But I can dream.

- nathancahill 11y agoWhen was the last time a protocol had a unicorn valuation? I completely agree, but it's not aligned with investor interest.
- mingus68040 11y agoProtocols don't exist to serve investors.
