At the end of the day we are talking about ground transportation. A basic utility. The apps are way too fancy.
True, but only if they were catering to a few thousand people. Not when there are millions of request per minute or more. Everything that's being built is necessary. I'm sure you'd cry here if your uber goes down when you need it. Simple does not mean easy.
I agree. They shouldโve used WebView and just Firebase to output the best user experience and scale to 93 million monthly active users worldwide. Btw do you work as HR @ Lyft?
Care to elaborate why do you think so?
Taxi is a low profit margin business. Why waste money on expensive product teams. Hell the whole system could operate by sms text messaging. I text my origin and destination, Lyft forwards it to a driver, I get the car info, and off we go.
Short Lyft, buy Uber
Thank god youโre at Lyft instead of Uber
