Forget the economics for a minute . Uber Lyft changed the way we pay for rides and rate drivers. Uber used online payment and GPS to create a simple app that works. I no longer have to worry about payment since I prepay. Cars are owned by the individual so they are cleaner inside. I can summon one from a distance and I can pinpoint the exact pickup Spot. I once called a taxi dispatcher and I felt berated. It's the user experience, probably something mr. Oracle should look into.

- nprateem 5y agoThere are multiple reasons, from regulation in terms of insurance, safety requirements, etc. to control of congestion and pollution by limiting the number of drivers.

- nprateem 5y agoI know right, it's as difficult as going on the app store and typing "<city> taxi app"
