My only reason for using Uber in this city is that it beats the hell out of black taxi rates, will definitely not be using this service.
Seems like they're just trying to mitigate the protests happening today.

Actually it follows the same fare rate as the taxis themselves, plus 5% extra to Uber for the convenience of the service.

#10As a non Uber customer, why would I use this over Hailo? And why would Uber customers opt for a more expensive taxi when the same application has a cheaper option?
When I use black cabs here in London, I'd much rather use an established and local product from a company with less questionable ethics. That's Hailo.
