With a super on-demand app like Uber being launched in all corners of the world, local taxi businesses are suffering everywhere. There are various reasons why this is so. The fact that Uber is a world famous brand does not help their cause.

WHY IS UBER SO POPULAR?

Research has shown that Uber taxis are more cost effective than normal taxis. Uber is also more popular because of the safety aspect. Riders feel safer using and riding in an Uber car than normal taxis. The waiting time for an Uber taxi is comparatively less than normal taxis. Uber taxis are famously reputed for being available at short notice, at anytime, anywhere.

HOW CAN TAXIS COMPETE WITH UBER?

There is no cause for the taxi business to suffer. Many companies have designed apps similar to Uber just for entrepreneurs and taxi business owners to beat Uber at their own game. The Uber app clone comes at a fraction of the cost and the features are definitely better than the original version.

All the firm needs to do is invest in the Uber Mobile App Script and get their drivers registered. This will open up the driving arena as well for anyone who wants to drive without going through the legal loopholes that taxi drivers usually have to go through to be registered as a taxi driver, in some countries.
 
Cabs are usually seen to be “unreliable”. By uberising them, that stigma will be lifted off your firm.

The taxi firms also need to study why Uber is successful and apply that knowledge in running their business. One of the major advantages that Uber has over the taxis is that it has an effective network, whilst taxi drivers work independently. The network benefits enjoyed by Uber means it stands to gain the following advantages:

1. The app enables the rider to see the car coming, thus saving them waiting time in unfavorable weather conditions like rain, snow and extreme heat.
 
2. A perfect example of network balancing is surge pricing. This prevents the long taxi queues that you usually see outside popular venues like train stations, and airports. The taxi queues are a result of the lack of information being passed between cabs.

3. The more the drivers, the quicker the pickup time. The bigger the demand, the more the drivers. Less waiting time for drivers means lower prices.

Other advantages Uber has over other taxi businesses are:

-  The fully cashless system is one that is welcomed by all users, saving both parties the embarrassment of rummaging for change etc.  Money is not discussed at all from the beginning to the end. A simple, clean and safe system.

-  There is also no price negotiation as the estimated cost of the journey is displayed on the passenger app when he books the ride.
 
-  Very convenient to book – all done via the app. Just input your pickup and destination and your ride will be booked in a matter of seconds.

-  The driver ratings will also give the user an idea of how good and professional the driver is.

GET YOUR FIRM UBERISED BY INVESTING IN THE UBER MOBILE APP SCRIPT AND BECOME A BRAND YOURSELF

When you invest in this app, you become part of the Uber revolution that is overtaking the world. Your clientele will increase simply because of the on-demand and professional service that you offer at a fraction of the cost charged by Uber taxis.

These apps are easy to run and fully automated so you can do away with the few telephone operators you have employed to take cab bookings.

There is no need for you and your business to be seen to be “open” at all hours because the app will continue taking riders to their destinations at all times.  You can enjoy a good night’s sleep every night without worrying about the loss of business that usually occurred when you closed your firm for a night, or when you had no one to man the cab bookings.

Your riders can track their vehicles, as it is en route to them making it a more customer-oriented experience.

I think it is about time that all these struggling taxi firms take on Uber and defeat them at their own game by investing in the Uber app clone.

Once they invest, everything from installation, configuration and setup are done for them and they can be up and be running in as little as two days – that is how quick the transition from taxi to on-demand will be. They will be able to do away with the operators and move to a smaller premise or can even get rid of it saving those wages, rents and other overheads. The best move for any taxi business owner!
