That's interesting - these are companies that I would consider to have minimal network effect. There isn't much of a barrier to both drivers and users installing and using both services. It seems like a pretty workable idea to let Uner take the first-mover regulatory risk then follow them into the market and clean up.
- JumpCrisscross 10y ago> these are companies that I would consider to have minimal network effect Gett raised $100 million [1], designed a decent app and put up a bunch of billboards all over Manhattan. I tried to use it for over a month. The drivers were friendly, the cars were wonderful and the rates were great. But the waits were like 20 minutes. Haven't used it since.

- k-mcgrady 10y agoSounds like a bad launch (lots of marketing - leading to lots of users - when you don't have the drivers to handle it) and pretty easy problem to solve.
