Uber private car taxi service app starts to target the mass user group

Remember the 2012 Internet Trends report released by Queen Mary Meeker Internet? She has said about the change of taxi way: Before is by waiting for a taxi, and now through Uber and other services, just use a mobile phone to send a taxi request, a car will open to you. In many taxi service app, Uber service is more special, it provides the car is not the kind of unified red yellow taxi, but more than the general taxi expensive private car services, usually provide luxury cars. Now they are trying to add some less luxurious cars and options like SUV, limo, and ice-cream cart. From this Wednesday onwards, Uber customers in San Francisco and New York will have a hybrid car option to make taxi services cheaper. This option will be 10% to 25% higher than the average taxi, but it is already low compared with the luxury sedan, which is 40% to 100% higher than the taxi fare. Consider these private cars can provide comfort and speed, I believe that the price changes will also increase the customer stickiness of the app. This is Uber's first step toward the general public, chief executive Kalanick said. Uber has raised 43 million of billions of dollars in investment last year, and it is just one of the many startups that cabulous, Taxi Magic and GetTaxi want to gain in the efficiency of boosting drivers and passenger connections. Uber is trying to predict which areas have a large demand for taxi services in different periods. This information will appear on the driver's mobile phone app, so the driver will know where to turn the car and be able to receive a guest in a minute when receiving a taxi order to save the driver's and passengers ' time costs. Uber does not provide the actual service, but for the existing private car for specialized services, let the car carry Uber technology, and Uber will receive a commission from the taxi service. The user who uses Uber to hit the car is not only paying for the service, it will also involve the cost of the oil charge. Because hybrids can do more than just petrol, they can reduce costs and make services cheaper. In most cities, Uber is also adding SUV models to facilitate a larger number of groups. Generally, the service price of SUV is 30% to 40% lower than that of limousine service. Although Uber offers more expensive services, its business growth is obvious. The company is reluctant to disclose accurate figures, but Kalanick said the average monthly growth rate of the company's business in the past year was 20% to 30%. In San Francisco, 400 private car drivers have been registered at the Uber, and that number will be larger. And the drivers seem to be making money with Uber, a start-up that has persuaded their taxi-service partners to buy 50 hybrid cars designed for Uber users. Mandour, a driver on the Uber, said he drove a taxiNine years, the income is 10 hours to make 300 dollars. But when he works with Uber, he can make more than 700 dollars a day. In terms of billing, Uber has made innovations by using a mechanism to charge both the time and distance of a taxi service, and the customer can pay the Uber service charge through a credit card. But this billing method may have allowed Uber to violate the rules. The Colombian taxi board says Uber is doing business in the city without permission from the association. The association is proposing to amend local taxi laws to tighten regulation of private cars. On the other side, Uber that the Commission wanted to protect taxis in the event of competition with alternatives. But not everywhere, at least in New York, Uber is supported. We very much welcome the way technology is used to improve public transport services, the New York Association said. In Boston, Uber is still doing other interesting things. Since Wednesday, Boston's users have been able to hit the limo on Uber. And soon, users will be able to ask the ice-cream truck to run to them. Comparing the domestic situation, it seems that it is difficult to make a simple copy of the taxi service with the private car owners. And now there are similar services in the country, rocking the car, it uses the private car rental companies under the vacant vehicles. Do not know when the future can hit the domestic ice cream car? Look forward to it before the hot summer comes.
