Are lyft etc... non-options?
Personally, I'd love to see the most predatory of the on-demand ride services flame out because of bad PR and an unsustainable (and did I mention predatory?) business model.
- dingo_bat 9y agoWe don't have lyft in Bangalore. We have Ola, but it is crap compared to uber.
- netsharc 9y agoWhat's preventing Uber customers to gather a few phone number of Uber drivers, and if Uber dies, to message them directly for a ride? It's a bit of a hassle, admittedly, but if you can contact the providers directly...
- eddieroger 9y agoThe fact that Uber facilitates payment, for one, and that's handled external and prior to the ride, so you don't have to worry about the hassle at the end. Also the infrastructure around tracking who needs a ride and where they are is nice.
- dingo_bat 9y agoHow many drivers' numbers will I collect? I need the app to contact the nearest driver. Also, the pool service is highly difficult to recreate without the infrastructure uber provides. You'd basically have to start another uber.
