Fears Ukrainian taxi drivers were met in full: a mobile app to order a car, which appeared not so long ago, began to pull customers classic dispatching services. Last suffering because of this loss, and many have been forced to put their business for sale. But since almost all innovations start in the capital, the first attack was made by the Kiev service, reports UBR.
At the end of last year in Kiev was sold to hundreds of services, but to get rid of them were not all — have been only a single transaction. The company was sold at a price of 1 thousand dollars to 20 thousand dollars.
They could buy, for example, for a “nice” number and title. And potential buyers is very small. Therefore, many services have simply shut down.
So instead of the 300 companies in the fall may be no more than 100. The competition, which was created by Uber, Uklon, etc., many were not. A piece of cake newcomers have already grabbed, and until they make their clientele and drivers — do not stop.
This trend was confirmed in the taxi services. Noting that in other cities of Ukraine yet it is not so bad — there is not such intense competition that allows affiliates the Kiev dispatchers to feel at ease regions.
To stay afloat, some of the traditional service began to introduce the possibility of ordering a taxi online. But a good mobile application is not less than 50 thousand dollars, and not all afford such investments. And this function in the case of work for only one specific service is not a panacea.
