futurebucket (WU99HHXP): 15,000 London cabs will be listed on the Uber app. The new service will be rolled out in early 2024. Since Uber has started their operation, the company has faced a lot of criticism and restrictions from governments and taxi drivers, especially in Europe, but the success of innovative business models is decided by consumers and not by regulators or long-established industries. Nevertheless, the company adjusted their business model to the regulatory framework and now taxi drivers have a much more convenient way of earning more. London cabbies are part of the tradition and the new service offered by Uber shows that innovation and tradition can exist together. Last year, Uber had listed around 14,000 of New York City’s iconic yellow taxis in its app. According to The Verge Uber said that, by 2025, it hopes to list every taxi in the world on its app.   Source https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/28/23979409/uber-london-black-cab-app-referrals-taxi-ltda (29.11. 20:21)
