I have one question for somebody knowledgeable about this market.
Why companies like YellowCab do not offer something similar to Uber? They developed the app but the app is jut front end to dispatcher: so there is no guarantee that cab will actually come (I tried it).
For example, ability to pre-pay taxi via iPhone so that there is guarantee that cab will actually pick me up. Or maybe hailing taxi via iPhone? Or something like Lyft Line?
Is management of cab companies to blame? Or is it taxi drivers?
