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.
