Product differentiation: Some new services, and certainly Uber, are introducing more
product differentiation into the market, so as better to meet diverse consumer demand -
for example, in our more mature markets, such as London, Uber offers 4 product classes.
Market equilibrium: The fact is that today many consumers experience longer wait times
for rides at the busiest times of the week (e.g. Friday and Saturday night). At the same
time, after a taxi drivers has paid for a taxi license they feel compelled to work long hours,
but frequently inactive, to recoup the costs. Nonetheless, experience has demonstrated
that the market is underserved during the busiest times of the week, as even if the taxis
are compelled to work during this time, there are not enough taxis available on the streets,
neither in the areas where the public transportation is unexisting. This increase at the
same time the risk of drunk driving. Public policy has resulted in a market that is not in
equilibrium, to the detriment of both passengers and drivers. The future should be based
on a market-determined number of full time drivers complemented by a pool of drivers
arising from the ‘sharing economy’.
