The first person you fire in that scenario is the person who thought all of the above was needed to dispatch a small number of cars to pick people up. I'm going to go out on a limb and imagine that that person is the general manager. After that I would fire the ops team, the ios and android devs as the entire solution could be handled a very simple non flashy website running on cheap web hosting.

Sounds like someone somewhere should be able to run with this idea and commercialize it at very competitive costs. Not necessarily to compete with Uber head-to-head (although this sounds appealing), but maybe to help out a smaller town that's not served by Uber or Lyft.

So what are the most successful examples of non flashy websites running on cheap hosting you'd recommend?
