This ringed true to me in Tokyo and Barcelona - local taxi apps were significantly cheaper and had better availability than Uber.
When they were competing with Grab in most southeast Asian markets, Grab would usually out-compete on both parameters, too.
- icebraining 8y agoTaxify, despite the name, doesn't actually call regular taxis, they have their own drivers like Uber. They're also not local, they're from Estonia, and operate in dozens of countries.
- prostoalex 8y agoI think for Spain the app of choice was Cabify.
- jpatokal 8y agoUberX doesn't operate in Tokyo, if you use Uber there you get a regular taxi with a surcharge on top. (Which may still be worth paying if you're not up to communicating in Japanese with GPS-less regular cabbies, mind you...)
