If Taxi companies were actually capable of doing the job Uber did then maybe I’d consider using them. I normally go out of my way in order to do the “right” thing... But I’ve never seen an adequate taxi company in the EU. Everywhere they charge more than Uber, expect me to download a specific app for their service, rarely support card payments and my personal favourite is when they round up the amount owed because they either don’t have change or you know convenience. Also why don’t taxi companies have their own global app. Yeah sure it’s hard to build but welcome to the competitive market guys... you can’t just go on strike because the consumers prefer your competitors based on quality of service and pricing. How is this even a government issue? Actually why is it a government issue? Just allow competition between taxis and ride hailing companies. Let them figure it out. I feel the biggest problem is that politicians who bow down to the taxi drivers only do it for the votes and not because it’s better for the general public. /stop rant
