From this comment and others, it seems to me there's a business to be made creating a unified app that all taxi services can integrate with. It seems like a large momentum to overcome, but faced with extinction via uber/lyft/etc might be the catalyst to make it happen. Priceline et al made something similar happen to the hotel industry, so it seems possible.
- Sargos 10y agoThis already exists and ironically Uber is leading the charge. https://www.uber.com/ride/ubertaxi/ https://www.uber.com/ride/ubertaxi/ It's very, very hard to get taxi monopolies onboard with something like this though. That's why Lyft/Uber had to forcefully enter the markets like they've done. The market is too corrupt for something standardized like priceline to take hold.
