It was only a matter of time until this “war” between decentralized car-sharing services and regular car drivers would lead to some positive news. Hailing a ride with a mobile application is not only convenient, but it also allows for automated payment processes. Most of Uber’s and Lyft’s success comes from the ability to get a ride by tapping your phone a few times. Now, in an attempt to stay competitive, New York’s yellow cab drivers will get their own hailing app very shortly.
