There should be an app where different services (Uber/Lyft/Gett/Via/Arro (which is Yellow Cabs) bid on a ride and the lowest bid gets the ride. That would help to fix this problem. In NYC I had noticed that Uber was charging as much as Yellow Cab for some of the trips and I was surprised about their algorithm. Now I understand why.

Google Maps does this in London (at least on Android). Unfortunately, there's no Lyft in the UK and Uber really dominates the market, so it's pretty useless. There's also services like RideGuru.
