Re: Reward the little guy

Amber Cars in Leeds have their own App, you can book through it, even up to 24 hours in advance, pay through it, it shows where your driver is on a map when he's coming to pick you up, it basically does everything Uber does but without the surge pricing, employee abuse, terrible morals, shady business practices, and spunting of Vulture Capitalist subsidies to crash the local markets. Also their call centre is in Leeds and seemingly staffed with a bunch of lovely Northern lasses.

My point is, if it's possible to have an Uber beater like Amber in West Yorkshire, who presumably didn't create this app themselves, then other local taxi firms need to follow suit to combat the American charlatans trying to muscle in on their patch.
