How the competion of taxi apps helps the city life

An article by the NYTimes illustrating how the Taxi apps, however in competition, contribute to the welfare of citizens:
Over the next few years, if Uber and other such services do reduce the need for private vehicle ownership, they could help lower the cost of living in urban areas, reduce the environmental toll exacted by privately owned automobiles (like the emissions we spew while cruising for parking), and reallocate space now being wasted on parking lots to more valuable uses, like housing.

Uber Pop and the In Arrivo Shared paths: has Freud something to say about it?

Recently Uber proposed what it calls another disruptive service: Uber Pop. Basically the service allows normal drivers to carry other passengers for a fee, a big part of which ends up in the deep pocket of Uber itself, as customary. Basically the same thing the In Arrivo suite is offering in all its three embodiments since more than one year by means of the shared paths technology. The difference being that the app does not charge the driver in any way for carrying other people and is not interested whether that is done for free or for a fee, and also that it offers this service also to walkers and taxi passengers that in this way may find fellow people for a run or walk in the park, or share the price of a taxi ride to a certain common destination to save money. What Uber has not even thought of or sparsely presented.

This make even more troublesome to understand why Uber is considered disruptive. The only suggestion is that it is mood to make it so. Sometimes the feminine part of people dominates and the
Denim type, occupying spaces and not needing to ask for that, projects its own charm. What makes even more so the fact that it comes with the big money of Google and other investors.

I wonder if appreciators of this platform understand the deep Freudian push at the basis of their interest!

Why the only competitor of Taxi Professional may be Uber: an answer to a comment

I 'spiritually' believe more in competition than in cartels. The Taxi Professional option is to allow taxi drivers to keep different applications on their devices without paying a dime for it nor leave their credit card or other. Then they might decide which one brings about more clients and possibly dump the rest.
In fact Taxi Professional is not a dumb client-service app like Uber and the nearly total number of other taxi reservations apps. In fact the client apps in the suite:
 In Arrivo HDin Arrivo Express & Share & Spare offer much more than reserving taxis! In the last case it primarily offers the possibility of sharing walking, car and taxi trips with other users, in addition to reserving taxis; as for the other apps they are also routinely used in Rome and Milan - and progressively elsewhere when local transit companies offer the needed apis -  for checking the waiting times for the buses and nearby stops, and to know how to reach a location by public service and much more, again in addition to reserving taxis.

My opinion is in fact that 
no dumb client-server app may beat Uber, and its big pockets, also holding the Google's money. Users do not simply open their apps without being remembered of doing it, and in fact Uber routinely appears in magazines, VIPs' reports and elsewhere!

As said 
Taxi Professional is different, because users would not need to start the app just to reserve a taxi.

Hello!
GETRIDE has a new approach to the APP market.Instead of having an UBER corner drivers and worldwide dispatch they are working on a new model of partnering with all drivers from all cities (where UBER is only looking at big ticket markets and taking away individual company identity by in effect creating an omnipotent UBER FLEET.)
not good for anyone. 

Just as GETRIDE has the vision to join small operators in all markets to provide great seamless service...maybe app providers in different markets can form a partnership as well.

No one can do it all. That's why partnering small companies and global regional app providers will win this horserace.
