Honestly I think 99% of the reason people use Uber and Lyft are the phone apps. If "real" cab companies had an app, I seriously doubt Uber and Lyft would've made such headway. (At least in most cities - I realize there's occasionally specific, localized issues with existing "real" cab companies.)
- greiskul 11y agoYes, in Brazil we have phone apps for calling regular taxis, and at least in the big cities, it's great. You end up with all the regulation that regular taxis have, plus the apps normally have a rating system, so drivers end up caring much more about the quality of the ride. Uber is having an extra hard time to compete here.
