Sure, but like I said - solving a problem in the US and then rolling it out across the globe just “because” doesn’t mean the rest of the world needed it, just mean you had enough money to outcompete even if your service is worse.
- cuteboy19 5y agoMost other countries have different companies like Ola DiDi etc which have localized models more suitable to the country theyre in. Uber actually failed to replicate its model in these countries
- mftb 5y agoIt would seem that many other folks in this thread disagree that Uber's service in the area you referenced is worse. I've never been to the UK, so I can't offer an opinion.
- simonbarker87 5y agoYeh either I got lucky here in the UK or they have been unlucky.
- unmole 5y agoWhy did people take to Uber outside the US if there wasn't a need?
- amelius 5y agoBecause Uber subsidized the rides.
- simonbarker87 5y agoThis, they used their VC money to undercut the local market. Everyone complained when China did it with steel but not when Uber did it with taxis
