> As an European? Yes. > Things were evolving fine in Europe; from our POV, Uber isn't doing anything innovative - they're just a personal transportation company (we have those) with a cute app (we have those) that tries to outcompete everyone by unilaterally deciding that laws don't apply to them. If you believe that taxis are getting better in Europe, see the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl2QcEOIdHg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl2QcEOIdHg Sorry, I couldn't find proper English captions, however the numbers are still clear. The person who made the video, made 4 trips from the same point A to point B and these are the prices he had to pay for the same exact journey: - 1250 HUF - 2000 HUF - 2500 HUF - 5950 HUF None of the drivers provided a receipt willingly. Meanwhile Uber cost 1105 HUF. Note that: taxi tariffs are regulated in Budapest, yet it clearly doesn't stop drivers from overcharging unsuspecting foreigners.
