Uber in Santo Domingo
https://www.uber.com/jobs/69914
Wonder if that's going to work here. I'm sure the association of taxistas will be very happy to get some competition of anyone with a car and a smartphone.
Or maybe it's the companies like Apolo that will suffer.

It could work for sindico drivers to be more streamlined.
I see a few broken windshields and slashed tires otherwise.
-
I see them competing with the taxis, not so much with the sindicatos, since those are mainly the fixed cheap routes.

I'm not sure how this would work here though.
What's their margin and how will the drivers make money?
I know it's a bit more in SD, but here in Santiago almost everywhere I go it's RD$150 or $200 depending on the driver, rarely more unless I'm going pretty far.
That's US$5 tops.
They are very successful all around the world so I'm sure they have a plan in place, but I don't see how they and drivers are going to make money here.

I think their best bet are the customers from airports to business hotels vice versa. Las Americas - Hilton Malecon for example is USD40 (hotel rate) someone willing to do that for USD20, can make some money on the side.
I heard though that world wide uber drivers complain about the little money they're making.

Uber is slightly more than local rides in most cities, why would they do a $40 ride for $20?

You need a luxury car, or @ least one painted a single color!

all taxi companies are affiliated with large transport unions.
