- duiker101 12y agoThat's nice of them...
- weixiyen 12y agoHere's one angle. If this app becomes popular and Uber sends a C&D, then Uber results will no longer show up in this app, meaning Lyft would get all the bookings from people who use it.
- mkal_tsr 12y agoDoesn't Google Maps include Uber now? I thought gMaps also had public transportation information as well. inb4 selective enforcement.
- ryanSrich 12y agoWell Uber has been cheaper than any other service in all of my searches so it seems to be in their best interest.
- lordnacho1980 12y agoIMO that kind of term is anti-competitive and should not be legal. Uber markets itself as a free market alternative to the old cab monopolies, so why are they doing things like this?
- nathanm412 12y agoI get the impression from the site that they have the fare rates, but are calculating distance and drive time using google maps and estimating the cost of the service. If this is true, they wouldn't need to use the API to run the site.
