Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that there is competition but the vast majority of people just care about a car that turns up on time and doesn't cost them a fortune.

If Taxify/Ola aren't doing anything majorly different from Uber then there's no reason for people to switch away from a service that proven to work.

Anecdotally Singapore has (local) Grab and Uber. People seem to use both, I personally made far better experiences with Grab.

Superficially they're the same, still there seems to be room for both and I personally prefer the Uber alternative more.

“Is reasonable”? It’s an algorithm in place for when demand outstrips supply.
