I agree that there is benefit to a ubiquitous service, but is this not applicable to virtually any service whenever you travel? Searching for Taxis St. Petersburg Russia provides me with the same information and taxi services that locals would use, with results in my language, phone numbers, and websites. You really don't need to keep track of every taxi service any more than you need to keep track of every restaurant, every public transit service, or every hotel chain - the grand majority of the time, search for [service]+[location] and you will find what you need. I do understand there is a convenience factor, but I feel the discovery aspect is being overstated.
