It's just a Telegram bot, it's not "based on" Telegram's source code (which is what I assumed when reading your comment before opening the page). That's like saying Facebook is based on PHP and saying "that's a major red flag!"
Interesting idea but not as convenient for someone who travels and doesn’t want to organize a cash withdrawal to leave the airport. With Uber I can just get going.
> doesn’t want to organize a cash withdrawal You're not the first to mention this, but this is completely foreign to me. I'd love to get off of cash, but there are just so many places in Europe that are cash-only. The Netherlands is bad, but Germany is even worse. Lots of bakeries, fries stores, stands, etc. are cash-only; in restaurants big groups split and settle the bill with cash; and settling stuff between frien…
I'll post a comment from ProductHunt, which might give a bit more context to where the founder sees this going, and why cash rides make sense under certain circumstances he designed the app for: […] I have gone to the founder's blog and it provides a better understanding of where he sees it going: Uber (and similar apps) will never reach many remote villages, cities and regions around the world (and don't have to), b…
Uber is trying to address the Credit Card issues after it noticed that lots of Singaporeans, maids and foreign labor do not have credit cards but still needs the service. They accept cash now. https://www.techinasia.com/uber-cash-payments-singapore

Getting in a taxi with a $250K medallion and the city of New York behind it is much different than getting in someone's car... Without someone vetting these drivers and taking a risk and responsibility for people's safety, this seems like a terribly dangerous way for anyone to get around.
"Terribly dangerous" == not dangerous at all. Criminals aren't liable to want to leave an electronic trail driving a taxi just to rob someone. It's likely to be nearly as safe as riding Uber or Taxis in general, which is to say extremely safe. What's more likely is the driver will get robbed, but even then that's not going to happen very often.
I never carry cash. Why not just integrate Stripe for debit/credit card transactions? Or literally anything.
Besides, you can't hand someone a suitcase full of electronic money. I mean you can duct tape a black card into the suitcase or something but it just isn't the same. Do your part to save the attache case industry.
