Except, the value Uber provides is entirely in being cheaper than the competition.
There have been apps to book taxi rides in Germany for years, some of them even existed as early as 2007 and allowed booking the ride online and paying online ahrad of time.
Yet, the only reason Uber had an advantage while it was operating in Germany was the massivr ad budget they had due to taking higher fees from drivers, and their cheaper prices due to not paying for insurances or ensuring that the drivers actually had the correct drivers licenses.

- Rjevski 8y agoThe value Uber provides to me is a ride within minutes of the request. Taxis in London (which have their own apps like Gett and MyTaxi) can't match that from my experience. Uber also provides me with a way to claim money back should any problems arise directly from the app, where as the process for a taxi is much more time-consuming.
