Uber and Lyft say they're ending services in Minneapolis over a city-mandated driver pay increase. The city council pushed through the measure to bring driver pay closer to the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour.
Again, they did and failed because they couldn’t compete because investors paid for the likes of uber to run everyone out of business. I don’t know how more I can explain this to you, but you don’t seem to understand.

okay you are obviously taking this far too literally, obviously they could make an app, but the apps could not survive and exist because the competition would undersell them, paid for with investor money.
do you see what i’m trying to get through to you yet? everyone is saying “well the apps are better!” when the reality is that the big investor backed corporations like uber pushed all the smaller taxi firms out with uncompetitive price undercutting, they didn’t die out because they didn’t have an app, they couldn’t survive with an app or without - they couldn’t make that app to make you happy because you’d still pick the 20% cheaper one anyway
I rarely ever took cabs or other such transport because they’re universally dodgy as fuck. Apps made it convenient and accountable, thus succeeded.

Well yes, I read what you said as you wrote it. I can’t infer very well over text.
