Uber and other companies are itching to fill the role of taxi hailing app. Why does the city need to promote its own?
This sort of arbitrary anti-competitiveness is exactly why Uber has a niche to fill in the first place.
- juliangregorian 11y agoHuh? Isn't having a competing taxi hailing app the definition of competitiveness?
- humanrebar 11y agoIt's a portal provided by the government (through a contract). It's may be competitive for taxis (that's an empirical question, I think), but it's not competitive in terms of algorithms, ratings systems, predictive taxi distribution, etc.
