They have no real technology assets other than their web-site & their smart app resources. In truth, there are no real ‘technological’ barriers to entry other than their first-mover advantage. In fact, it is very easy to replicate their business model by any technopreneur with sufficient financing from venture capitalists. Uber & Grab are being funded by easy money through several rounds of equity & debt raising exercises. Their ultimate goal is an IPO exit strategy but the US IPO atmosphere is currently very toxic. Recent US IPOs have gone ‘underwater’ re: Snap, Blue Apron, etc. Market observers are already calling Uber an unicorn IPO. But their likelihood for an IPO is very dim under present market conditions. Their company’s high valuations are being questioned while their cash burn rate is exceedingly high. There are already market doubts whether ride-sharing operations can continue to raise cash from investors as timelines for an IPO gets push further out into the time horizon. What many people don’t realized is that ride-sharing companies subsidize passengers using their apps by using their cash raised from investors to gain market share & to kill off the taxi companies.<br />My prediction – Ride-share companies will implode after the stockmarket crashes & the prospects for an IPO looks grim for a while. Investors will not fund them any more if there’s no clear exit strategy. A lot of the ride-share players will get badly burnt re: on the hook for car hire-purchase liabilities, excess cars that can’t earn a living, excess drivers without any mean of job assignments, etc. The whole industry is unsustainable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232737933997263920.post-27840210035076576622017-08-21T02:11:08.884+08:002017-08-21T02:11:08.884+08:00s a very stupid thing to be an Uber or Grab driver...s a very stupid thing to be an Uber or Grab driver.

After a good start with the flexible Taxihare at reasonably low rental rates, they now increased their rental rate averaging about 15 percents. I think fuel top up is not compulsory at 1/4 fuel. The only thing we must ensure is that the @Fuel Empty Tank symbol is not lighted when we end our shift. <br /><br />When every future commuter is tech savvy with cell phone, the traditional taxi drivers must either jump ship as Private Hire Car drivers or be security guards.<br /> Diary of a Singaorean Cabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742877944090751006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232737933997263920.post-82020348769032386792017-08-17T16:30:55.944+08:002017-08-17T16:30:55.944+08:00Hi James,

Only thing is that you have to top up the at least 1/4 fuel every time you return the taxi. <br /><br />Only Private hire cars plying the streets may be a thing in the future but for now there are still demand for street jobs on weekends and peak periods on weekdays. Guess we need to play on both courts of the game in order to get better income driving taxi.<br /><br />regards<br />FrancisFrancis Panghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222137215086176455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232737933997263920.post-25752975093555158412017-08-15T20:24:31.001+08:002017-08-15T20:24:31.001+08:00Hi Anon,

Just look at the number of disunited oppositions political parties and you get my drift.

Most cabby don't see it thinking of sleeping with the devil can get more out of the business. All cabby needs to united and fight it to prolong the Taxi industry or get kill faster. There is no win_win in conflicts of interest in business. As for why the smaller Taxi company partner with Grab and made no noise about it's driver situation is obvious. Grab must have given them side kick from the driver's commission without knowing Grab is terminating them slowly but surely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
