“Uber produces an app which allows customers to book rides with limousine companies and private drivers using their mobile phone. Offering an alternative to taxis, the company claims to have hooked up thousands of drivers with thousands of customers using iPhone and Android technology. According to Liz Spengler of the Taxiverband Zurich, ‘The taxi industry in Zurich is unhappy with the launch of Uber. We feel that customers will probably be deceived by the dishonest competition; the drivers charge will far too much and probably earn very little; and, on top of that, the taxi and limousine market here is already saturated.'”
