Who wants to start the Uber for ambulances? It will have a list of prices for the nearest hospitals and drop you off where the costs are cheapest and the waiting times the shortest? (I'm a mobile/backend dev B) )
- dominotw 9y agoWaiting time depends on the type of emergency you have, its not a single number for everyone.

You probably couldn't operate an ambulance company with the policy you describe in most places, and you certainly couldn't legally do an Uber-style middleman service with independent ambulances that used that policy. And, unlike taxi laws, the laws on operating thingd that pretend to be legally-mandated emergency vehicles are going to be vigorously enforced.
