How does UBER compare to taxi pricewise?
- anyfoo 3y agoI just looked it up on Wikipedia. Apparently, in Germany Uber only dispatches to local rental car and taxi providers, so it effectively seems to be a frontend to German taxis. They also mention the rather strong transport laws, that most likely prohibit them from offering the same model as in the US. (But I really don’t know.) So, not comparable it seems.

Uber tried their usual model here and we threw the law at them. Then they tried to ignore it (cause, why not, it worked in various US cities). And got hit over with the law again and again. Then they changed it to their current model.
