False. They have said their goal is to be competitive against public transportation and to keep dropping prices. Not engage in a monopoly and become fat cats

False. They have said their goal is to be competitive against public transportation and to keep dropping prices. Not engage in a monopoly and become fat cats like the taxi industry.

Every business would want to appear genuine, what business would say openly that they outright plan on being a monopoly?

> Not engage in a monopoly and become fat cats like the taxi industry. Given the anti competitive practices of Uber in the US, I wouldn't trust anything these guys say. "Start ups" always say that before becoming the monopoly.

  Does Lyft not exist? Did yellow cabs not create an app for themselves in certain cities? What exactly is anti-competitive? They are literally dealing with an industry that is thug-entrenched.

    Well, Uber did try to sabotage Lyft on multiple occasions [1]. The real story is a bit muddier, since Uber claims that Lyft also tried to sabotage them. 1. http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/26/6067663/this-is-ubers-playbook-for-sabotaging-lyft http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/26/6067663/this-is-ubers-play...
