In fact, Taxis GAVE their businesses to Uber by despising their own customers... If they has been good enough, Uber wouldn't have had so much momentum here.
I'm really sad for the few taxis working hard to be better because they're thrown now in the same bag as the average bad taxis. Hopefully, most of the time, good taxis have loyal customers (and no problem with UberPOP for that same reason).
BTW, I'm working in computer science so... disruption is at the heart of my field!!! :D
- agumonkey 11y agoI'm into CS too, and was all about progress but I've tamed my ideas. Do you really think that bad Taxis drove customers away or was it the system bottleneck (waiting so long, difficulty in finding a cab when you need one) and seemingly lower prices. Again, Uber give you less, AFAIK you're not insured if something happens, you dont even know if the guy has an insurance for himself, there's no check of any kind (as a CS guy you should be afraid of that), so prices can appear lower. I don't know, I only took a cab twice in my life.
