It really annoys me how some service/startup gets build around the large "infrastructure" (in a broader sense) deficiencies in the US. Because of the size of the US market and the amount of VC funding they then become big and move into markets that have had perfectly functioning solutions (like the EU in this case). Because they are so flush with cash (and much conversation/advertising online is very US centric) they then become dominant even in markets which had a perfectly functioning system that never needed they solution. Uber is an example of this (taxis had issues in Europe/Australia as well, but by far not as problematic)
