A sad demise

Stuff reports:
Wellington Combined Taxis Ltd has gone into voluntary administration.
Sad news. They were the taxi company I always used, before Uber came along.
Sadly they failed to keep up with technology. If they had developed a system where you can order them through your phone with the click of a button, can be notified when they arrive, and don’t have to spend a couple of minutes paying them at the end of the journey, then many more people would use them.
The other factor is pricing. An Uber from my place to the airport is around $55 and a taxi around $110. Unless someone else is paying, you won’t choose the $110 option.
