Counter-anecdote: when Taxify started up, it was impossible to hail them where I lived in the Inner West. But I grabbed on yesterday on the way to the airport, it was at my house in 2 minutes, and the driver told me he now drives for Taxify exclusively -- it's still a bit cheaper for riders and the drivers make more. All that said, when Uber surges hard, finding a Taxify car is impossible since most drivers use both. Anyway, I've signed up for Ola and just got coupons for three free rides up to $25. The more competition and the larger the bonfires of VC money, the merrier!
