Yes, but scale of countries like Bahrain doesn't make a dent. Also, in each of those countries Uber has a competition that is usually more successful than Uber.

Yes, but scale of countries like Bahrain doesn't make a dent. Also, in each of those countries Uber has a competition that is usually more successful than Uber. That's not true in Brazil and Mexico and that's why Didi is rushing there!
- trophycase 9y agoIn my experience, the Didi app is inferior to Uber's. Not sure how they would manage to outcompete.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIt might not be a fair comparison since didi never had an English interface.
- michaelwu 9y agoThey have an English UI now :)
- cfelix 9y agoPrice is the by far the biggest factor. My friends (here in Brazil) have two or three apps installed and always compare price before making a choice.
- rtx 9y agoUber has around 50% market share in India. That alone is the third biggest market in the future.
- KeepTalking 9y agoUber's main competitor in India is OLA cabs. India is ripe for Ride sharing cabs. In major metros, OLA (specifically OLA Select) is the ride of choice for middle class youth. With free wifi and one hour work commutes common, the ola ride becomes time to get emails and secretarial work taken care of.
- rtx 9y agoAs some one living in one of those metros. I have never used Ola. They always seem to have less cabs.
- KeepTalking 9y agoIMHO - Brazil and Mexico are dominated by Cabify and EasyTaxi.
- anodari 9y agoUber is strong here too.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoDidi isn’t in South, Central, or North America yet, so talking about how successful they are doing there isn’t very meaningful. Didi will also face competition in those countries as well when and if they decide to enter those markets, not to mention they’ll have to aggressively rebrand (even their name might have to change).
