I do understand that you guys have shittier taxi service over there than we generally do have in Europe, and it was tempting to go for something new - but there’s a service like this has fixed costs, including car maintenance, and giving a higher cut to the app company than you was doing during taxi times where you was hardly getting by doesn’t really work, once the venture capital dries up, and they try to make a profit.

Since everybody was running after uber like sheep you my end up with the actually sustainable transport destroyed - fortunately regulation saved us from the worst over here, though uber did have some negative impact.
