>>1910437the delivery companies also make no money
the truth is these firms were designed to take advantage of low interest rates and the borderline recklessness of investors during the tech craze of the early/mid 2010's, not to actually do anything. develop concept->grow users->cash the fuck out. they knew from the very start that the cost of software development and project managers makes them non-competitive with cabs.
if you're an e/n/trepeneur it is not a bad time to get into black car/limo/party buses right now with the intention of pivoting to cabs when these companies fail. their only hope was auotnomous cars which are basically dead.
