This is good. Google maps has an API, how difficult could it be to build a taxi app on top of it really? It's the marketing that would be harder.


They even suggest ride sharing on the API info page.


If Uber does get shut down hopefully a rider / driver owned app will come about instead.

Bolt is an alternative service to Uber. Works the same way and is very cheap (who's losing out there..) Bolt cars and drivers don't seem as well turned out as the Uber drivers although I've only used the service once.


A neighbour of mine is an Uber driver and I feel for him and his family with this uncertainty.

Ditto for Kapten. I've avoided Uber because of their poor practices for both drivers and the public. Kapten have addressed most of these issues, I believe, even though they're still part of the gig economy. Joined a couple of weeks ago and no complaints so far.

    • No, we'd have to be in a police state.  You'd have to get this made law.  Unless it is in Reform's policies.  I'll check. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/live-facial-recognition-technology-to-catch-high-harm-offenders Not government policy
    • There is a sign outside what was Megan's saying that whatever is replacing it will have an "all day concept." What the (expletive deleted) is an "all day concept", and how does it differ from being open all day? For (expletive deleted)'s sake 🙄
    • Not quite the same, but I  was always bemused by the name of Streatham Common Station, which is a lot further away from the common than Streatham Station is. I recently found out that when it was first built it was called Greyhound Lane Station, and then with various changes of road names etc  over the years became Streatham Common Station. Which still doesn't explain it, but is quite interesting (I think, anyway!).
    • Thanks, I'll try. I don't think I'm near to renewal, but they may do something as I've been with them for so long, if I say I'll look elsewhere at renewal if they don't!  What difference does the line speed make? Does it affect the signal at various points through the house? When I changed to fibre, the guy who installed it really resisted having the router where it had been before, at the back of the house,  presumably because it would have been a lot more work for him having to run wires through, over doors etc? At the time I was working at the front as my office at the back had become so dark (adjacent loft extension) so I wasn't too bothered, but I've since moved back. I've got those plug in extension things, but the WiFi at the back is now sometimes quite iffy, particularly the printer, which is annoying.
