Because building a basic app is actually pretty complex and there are only 4 million people who live there. It's why all the IT powerhouses (Frondi, Datacom, Catalyst, Sol-sucking-net, etc.) are all based in Wellington and contract out to everyone else.
I'm kinda surprised Uber isn't in Dunedin yet though. I know they're in Welly/Auckland .. and I suspect Chch as well.
- disordinary 9y agoThere's plenty of taxi apps as well as other ride sharing apps like Zoomy. Often Uber drivers in NZ work for a smaller taxi company and have multiple ride sharing apps on their phone. Building apps is actually simple. I work with one of those large powerhouses and they're actually really bad at it. Smaller teams can usually do a better job. Has nothing to do with population size. Also, I think Uber is in CHCH and the Tron. No doubt Dunedin is in their expansion plans.
