How Hola is fighting the big taxi firms
Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
All is not well in the world of taxis these days. Consumers aren't happy at the rapidly rising cost of hiring a cab using apps, and drivers aren't happy about the commissions they are being charged by the 2 biggest apps, Freenow and Uber. My next guest is offering an alternative, which he says will benefit both the consumer and the driver. It’s an app called Hola, and drivers only pay a flat €1 per journey while using the service, and no commission. Drivers can even buy a share of the business.
Kamal Gill, is the founder of Hola Taxi and joined Joe Lynam on the show this morning.
