Uber choose Demo day to launch their biggest insult yet to the London Licensed Taxi trade, Uber Taxi.
This from Uber PR department:
Amongst the architecture and art of London, few things are more iconic than the black cab. But just as our city’s physical landscape adapts over time, so too must our means of getting around it.
Today, on top of our existing three options of uberX, EXEC and LUX cars in London, we’re opening up the Uber platform to London’s Black Taxis, bringing one more safe, reliable and seamless option to London riders.
Also today:
As the London demo gets ready to kick off, Taxi drivers in Rio de Janeiro announced they are to support the global protest against Uber. Milan Taxis are on a 24 hr strike and In Barcelona and Paris Taxi drivers will also be joining in todays protests.
