It seems like a perfect fit! I talked with locals and they said the same thing; cab companies have the monopoly and are blocking them out. Too bad, I think it benefits everyone, including cab companies. Taxis have had years to utilize this technology, but they choose not to implement it. They would rather use their shady tactics to extort more money from their patrons. I was in Chicago a few months ago. The taxis there do utilize the Uber app. You can request UberX or taxis. It makes everything much easier to know how long the cab will take. There is room for both and Chicago is proof.
