I agree, but this experience can be delivered without the dodgy business model.
Hailo did this, all within the bounds of the standard regulatory framework by joining independent drivers to customers with all of the advantages that you provide.
They never annoyed anybody.
Sadly it seems they tried and failed to take on the less regulated markets and this was their undoing.
I miss Hailo and I hope somebody comes along with a credible replacement soon. MyTaxi is just plain awful and is probably the best marketing for Uber round these parts there has ever been!
There really isn't any critical intellectual property or secret sauce that should stand in the way ... just pure graft required.
