The reality is that public transport will always be the superior solution. No matter how big you make the highway some trains are always going to beat traffic. Combine that with some Park&Ride places on the outskirts and bus/subway

I feel like a backup generator is the last place where I would make my decisions based on the environment. I mean how long is it actually going to be active? Also batteries aren't exactly environment friendly either.

You sure there is no difference between passenger and paying passenger?

I kinda suspect most taxi dispatchers in Germany will speak English. Also if you have an app then you will have Internet and could just google taxi + city name

Give it a few years and OpenStreetMap will be superior. Here in Germany it will probably beat google maps most of the time. There is of course still the routing part.

You just have to look at the insurances. Instead of advacating for drivers to get a commercial or semi-commercial insurance it's handled trough Uber locking drivers in.

Uber has, but once you start deregulation it's just a question of time until drivers figure out they can get rides without paying Uber 20% and offer them cheaper.

These same people wouldn't be able to do this as Uber drivers because despite being unregulated But his point is that after Uber there will be services that don't operate that way. And Uber is not a great option for ever

whether due to availability at peak times, Just like we are going to see a lack of availability in slow times with Uber.

While there have been a lot of replied I think the main reason 5) is not legal is because it is much more likely that a driver will do this 12h a day for 6-7 days a week. So he will spend more hours on the road which is more demanding for h

I think a lot of people on this website always try to avoid such logins. Google already has enough of my data and I don't want to lock myself into a system if I don't have to. And do you really need a 25+ char password for every b

by Vik1ng 12y ago
Probably depends where you live. Google isn't as popular as in the US everywhere so in countries where they lack this user provided traffic data the differences aren't as big.

On the other hand Uber doesn't take cash, which I prefer.

http://www.taxi.eu/en/ I don't think it will get much further than that in many European cities. Most of the regulations are in place for a reason.

I disagree with your defintion in the google-Apple example and so does Wikipedia. It's pretty clear that if the government regulates it it's not a free market anymore. --- A free market is a market system in which the prices for g

I don't see why a country should accept any lowest common denominator of regulation for local taxis. Something that literally only affects the area in that country. If I need to get from the Berlin Aiport to the city centre then it doe

Until the driver crashes into another car and is no covered by insurance... Sorry, but your "inalienable" right end once you affect others. Also someone will have to pick up your hospital bill I you weren't insured.

They also did not at all understand what German customers wanted. Like no I don't want you do fucking bag my groceries. And no I don't need some strange greeter when I enter the store. WTF..
