Free now (Formerly mytaxi/hailo) has 70 million passengers and 100k drivers: https://www.daimler.com/products/services/mobility-services/...

This compares to Uber at 90 million passengers and 3.9m drivers: https://expandedramblings.com/index.php/uber-statistics/

Now unfortunately it's hard to assess Free Now's methodology as they're not a public company (they're owned by BMW and Daimler) so we only have their marketing claims to go on.

Also the majorly divergent passenger:driver ratio is likely down to mytaxi operating primarily in markets where taxi drivers are licensed and Uber's disruption not tolerated. This means they're pulling from a smaller pool that is more likely comprised of full time drivers.

Lots. They operate all over Europe.

They were called mytaxi until a couple of months ago, and absorbed Hailo and many other ride hailing services over the past few years.

I haven’t used Uber enough to hit the problems that others mention (e.g. drivers playing chicken with your pickup hoping you’ll cancel). With that said, there’s nothing I’ve seen from Uber that Hailo didn’t give me when I was traveling in Dublin 5 years ago.
