Uber is one of the biggest platforms in the world whereby one can request a ride and they will be connected with a driver to take them to their required destinations. They are not the only ones doing this but they are by far amongst the largest in their industry.<\/p>\n
They have been growing their app and adding more services to it like uber eats where you can order food from the app and it will be delivered directly to your door. Over the past the has been a bit of a conflict with the Maxi Cab driver here in the country, with the Cab drivers claiming that the app is taking them out of business and stealing their customers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The conflict has since quieted down a bit with uber drivers avoiding turfs and lanes that Maxi Cab drivers work on, but it looks like this time they are really pushing it with their latest service that they are adding to their app. They posted on their social media page that they are introducing a new product named uber bus, which seems to comprise of mini bus taxis and we all know what the taxi industry in South Africa is capable of.<\/p>\n

Some wrote on the picture that uber is starting a war with the wrong people, and this comes from the fact that we have seen what the taxi industry is capable off and the lengths they will go through just to gain control of a lane or turf, or even getting rid of some one that opposes them. Fortunately non of this is true as uber is not planning on launching this product\/ service in South Africa but in Egypt rather.<\/p>\n
