Hmm .. maybe an option in this startup space is a unified app for existing taxi and limo services? You see Taxis in every city with adverts on the side saying "Download our app." You can support local taxis if you want, but it takes that effort and no one does it. The last time I was in Berlin, Uber drivers were required to be taxi operators. The Uber app just hailed a taxi driver, so there was no real difference in getting a Uber vs hailing a cab. Instead of each Taxi company trying to stay on top with their own individual apps (which are probably made by like 3 US companies who sell/rebrand their services to everyone), why not an app system that connects you to local Taxi services? Support your local Taxi company. Put in your destination and get a list of rates and estimated wait times from companies .. you could put fancy Limo companies right next to the Taxis in the rare case someone wants to pay some crazy amount for a limo (or so they can use the same app to book one for a big engagement/later time). Is there anyone in this space?
