>Consider that, if taxi companies offered competitive phone-based reservations And instead, they are suing apps like MyTaxi in Germany. [1] The app allowed you to call cabs and pay via the app. But because MyTaxi promoted their app with discounts - even though MyTaxi paid for these - they sued them. Because f*, we don't need any new customers. And considering they sued Uber as well, it seems like most taxi driver associations just don't want to improve and hope for the best. Another example: In Berlin, they went to court over a new law forcing them to accept cards and collect a 1.50€ surcharge for it. And this is even though a 1.50€ surcharge greatly covers their costs. https://sumup.de https://sumup.de for example charges 0.95% for the debit cards that are very popular in Germany, so they make a profit for all payments under 158€ which seem very rare. And SumUp is quite expensive already. They seriously need to improve their product.
