"Taxi Services Now 10% Cheaper Because of Uber"
No. Taxis are used less meaning less income, they not cheaper.
"The 10% Taxi's Used To Take Now Returned To Customers In The Form Of Lower Prices"
That's also not true. Uber is usually not cheaper.
The headline should be:
"More taxi drivers = less money for individual drivers"
Or economically:
"Uber uses value chain power to grab surpluses in taxi market, leaving drivers with less money on average, and consumers with the same price. But they have a cool app now."
- dajohnson89 10y agoIf you're claiming that uberx is the same price as taxis, you're wrong. Please do some cursory googling.
- edblarney 10y agoFair enough - but it depends on where you are, and of course what time.
