Oracle’s Larry Ellison Calls Uber and WeWork ‘Almost Worthless’

In your area, do taxi companies operate a service "Lift Line" or the uber equivalent, in which you share a taxis with strangers who are going in a similar direction?

I have never seen a non-app taxi service do this, and it's a real genuine technology enabled value add. Is it 50 billion bucks worth? Probably not. But it isn't 0 either.

I grew up with something like this. We called them buses, they were pretty cool :)

I have no idea, since that's not a feature that I'd notice or look for.

What do you mean by a non-app taxi service? All of the taxi companies here have apps that work pretty much the same as Uber and Lyft's.
