If the app works then great but I&#x27;m not about to herald this as some great accomplishment. There is a reason Lyft&#x2F;Uber completely steamrolled the taxi industry (aside from skirting regulations that were arguably bad to start with) and it&#x27;s because they provided a 10000x better experience over calling a taxi dispatcher and waiting for cab (if it even shows up). I hated using taxis but Uber&#x2F;Lyft changed all of that fixing all the problems with the taxi industry.<p>Plain and simple the taxi industry had a monopoly, got lazy, didn&#x27;t innovate, and didn&#x27;t give a shit about their customers. I relish watching them burn down in the same way I enjoy watching Google Fiber trouce it&#x27;s competition.<p>Now if drivers want to create an app to compete with Lyft&#x2F;Uber then more power to them, if they want to run it as a non-profit then great, just as long as their app isn&#x27;t a buggy&#x2F;crashing POS then I&#x27;ll use it but I&#x27;m not holding my breath for that to happen. The best I saw from a cab company was a mobile website that asked for your location and allowed you to dispatch a cab after typing a short message. TWICE they never showed and once they didn&#x27;t even read the message as I had scheduled the cab for a specific time and they showed up 45min early and called to ask where I was...
