@sockpuppet7 said in Is Uber the *worst* .com currently?:
in my locality it was unfair laws, with most cab licenses owned by city lawmakers, and cabs being priced as a luxury, with old cars and rude drivers
the owner of the license would hire a driver to work for him, and the profit, doing nothing, was better than the average pay of an engineer like us
That's the sort of situation where I'd expect Uber to do well, cracking a market where prices were massively out of line with service levels. It is the differential between prices and service levels that provides the opportunity, the competitive edge. Markets where there isn't that dysfunction will be harder (that's why they've found the UK mostly hard going, especially outside London; not impossible but very little to gain advantage with).
