The Disruptors: The 'Uber effect' on the Taxi Industry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 мар 2017
- I spend a lot of time at Fox 5 covering startups. One of the biggest compliments you can pay a startup is to call it a disruptor, changing not just local business, but entire industries across the country and even around the world.
The transformation of the taxi and black car business is thanks largely to Uber. In less than a decade, Uber seemingly has become larger than life.
Travis Kalanick and partner Garrett Camp came up with the idea while trying to get a cab in Paris back in 2008. Their solution: Tap your smartphone, get a ride. Uber launched in beta in San Francisco in summer 2010 with a seed round of just $200,000. In 2014 at the Time 100 red carpet, Kalanick said Uber had maybe, finally, gotten to mass market.
It is certainly mass market today. Uber is currently valued at nearly $70 billion, has over 10,000 employees, and more than a million drivers operating in 528 cities around the world.

With Uber I always feel like I have a friend around the corner of I need a ride. Taxis made me wake an hour most times. Im disabled on fixed income. It makes a huge Difference
YES. Taxis would say "15 min" and take an hour (or sometimes never show up). I have a chronic pain condition and need something dependable. SO glad Uber has forced the industry to be better.
@@christinewatson1989 No kidding. And when you called them about the taxi not arriving yet, they'd always say "what do you want us to do about it?" They just did not give a shit.
😂😂😂😂 que put0
Wait untiil the smart cars replaced the drivers....
it"s coming
dj Curiosity ...and what could possibly go wrong with driverless cars. 🤪
Before Uber we used to call the cab companies and tried to get rides. They would either not answer or not show up. When you do get into a cab they were rude, the cars were garbage and they didn't know where they were going. Most of all it was also expensive. I relish watching the taxi industry die a slow but certain death.
Patrick Au-Yeung It was even worse,than what you described,if you were black,or in a predominately black neighborhood,no matter the class.... Karma’s a bitch.
Same here Patrick
@@King_SHANG_Presents Most uber drivers are former cab drivers. They will cancel your ride from the hood. Its the same.
You're a spoilt fool, Patrick
I can't wait for some unicorn startup to swoop in and kill off Comcast too. It's a matter of time.
This is the 21st century. E-hail, e-hail, e-hail, e-hail, e-hail.
1. Allows me to order in my language.
2. Allows me to tell app exactly where I am going and driver sees it on his app.
3. Shows driver best route to take.
4. Allows me to see us drive to my destination on my map
5. Allows me to order inside not outside in bad weather
6. Allows me to order wherever I am without worrying if a taxi drives by. I consider it good customer service to not get mugged walking a mile in the dark at midnight to a place taxis drive by. That's just me, though. You may like getting raped or mugged.
This is what matters to me. This is the system I support and I don't care about drivers who don't operate this way. Where I live now that has E-hail, I have taken a car at least 300 times in 5 months. In the previous 10 months I lived in a place that did not have e-hail available and I took a taxi 10 times in 10 months.
E-hail allows me freedom and a social life. If supporting your lifestyle requires me to be imprisoned on my block, don't count on my support.
uber has the office in this same building as mine in Indore, India.
Many similar apps have been started for cars and auto-rickshaws.
Move to Texas and drive yourself.
Now the owners of the cab company are taking a hit obviously
Any kind of technology that helps the taxi industry would be always welcome, the problems are when those promoters with money and power circumvents the rules. Competition within the frame of the laws and rules is great.
The fact that rideshare companies are permitted to operate without any kind of enforcement of the city's livery ordinances is a clear violation of public trust.
Even if it's what the mob seems to want, laws and ordinances were put in place for a reason and should be upheld.
So what regulations made taxies "customer choice" exactly? 9 out of every 10 people would choose Uber over Taxis. It's because Uber is privately "regulated".
You act like taxis regulations helped provide fantastic customer service and a first rate experience...its not just the cost, it's the convenience and it's way nicer...I'd pay taxi prices or even slightly more and STILL use uber because of how I'm treated, how easy It is to use, and how nice/clean the vehicles are
@@MrMark945 All you're saying is that you enjoy having power over others.
Power is an aphrodisiac so they say.
My car, I'm in charge!
@@CyberRabid. what?
If you really understood the taxi cab business which most people do not, Uber is helping the taxi cab full-time drivers tremendously now part time drivers for taxi company has been hurt but it will be impossible to explain but if your a full-time taxi cab driver you should be absolutely doing better as far as your bottom line is concerned
The Godfather You mean because there is less competition among taxi-cabs ? Fewer cabs less competition ?
Explain please
13% is bull crap probably more like 60% loss
Medallion gang is to blame.... for years this outdated mafia system killed the taxi industry... add to the wound the bad mood and dirt service offered by the cab drivers and owners....welcome to the future
They could just copy uber
Exactly!!!! But no, they just complain and say "this isnt fair"... them and blockbuster should go cry in the corner together
@@MrMark945 at least block buster tried to start a streaming service
I'm never riding in a taxi again. I've had bad experiences for 90% of my taxi rides or even just riding my bike when the taxi has made me crash on many occasions. So no I really dont care if they go out of business. When most are crazy as f
Uber is an invention,
like every invention, it brought something new and good,
if we oppose Uber, then ok, let's oppose planes, computers, electricity... let's oppose every invention, let's go back to the stone age !
Uber and via are both very bad for the drivers ,but via is a lot worse ! Worse app , worse cheapo clients , worse earnings.
I'm surprised that they didn't talk about how their destroying the taxi industry in other areas by giving fares so low their own driver barley break even
like I really care
consumers decide which is best for them
I bet half the complaints are lies. Use cameras
Why the fuck aren’t these taxi drivers joining Uber? Fucking idiots
my opinion they should just scrap Uber and lift there are no safety regulations on those vehicles and you don't know what kind of person he is scary at least taxi drivers is a legitimate employee that has to follow safety regulations insurance for the passengers
If you're implying that taxi drivers are less scary than your average Uber driver, you're pretty damned clueless.
+Joe Carlo are registered and licensed by the state you stupid dumbass
Joes Gsju , you mean the taxi drivers who rip me off by messing with the meter, drive off if you're an ethnic or the destination is too short, have no ratings system, and the fact we have to call an hour in advance to order a taxi that shows up late or may not show up at all. There's a reason consumers are choosing Uber and abandoning taxis.
+Don S well that's your stupid opinion more roads are being congested because of uber and Lyft I blame them because it's more stress for all the drivers you can't even get to your destination because of all the stupid cars are on the road
@@joesgsju1040 your just mad cause you didn't think of it. The simple fact is that ride sharing companies have a taken a huge bite out of taxis. Yellow cab was a huge monopoly on ordering rides and in most cases the drivers where jerks to a point that you rather wait for a bus. Also last but not least you're in a clean car and with someone who doesn't mind having a conversation with. Now what else are you going to say?
