FYI the ones you named include ones priced exactly the same as Uber. Uber doesn't take the same cut in every country.

- tristanj 1mo agoI'm fully aware that Lyft, Careem, and Kakao T are on my list. But that doesn't change the fact that in every region I've been to, Uber is always the most expensive option. Or it's tied for the highest price, in duopoly markets like the US/Canada. The competitors inDrive, Bolt, or Yango almost always beat Uber on price.
- deaux 1mo agoThis too isn't true. Most of the services you listed only operate in one (or at most a small few) countries. I know for a fact that in some of them, Uber is not the highest price. Instead, in some of them, Uber and the ones you listed are tied for the lowest price, with other local apps being more expensive. You're misinforming here, giving bold statements based on not spending enough time in some of these countries, not knowing the local market well enough.
- tristanj 1mo agoYou didn't actually name any of the countries or local apps you're referring to. What are they?
- deaux 26d agoLyft, DiDi, Bolt difference is about 0 in most locales. KakaoT is by definition 0. Your list is wildly outdated in the first place because half of them don't have Uber as competitor anymore because it left the market. In the above cases where the difference is about 0, both Uber and the other app are generally the cheapest ones on the market. There tend to be other slightly more upmarket apps that cost more but get you a nicer car/service. Cabify, IM. Waymo is moving into this. Obviously I'm not super familiar with every single market but clearly neither are you, and I know the above ones.
- allarm 29d agoLol even after 6 days you haven't posted any supporting information, so who's misinforming here? :)
