[guardian-dev] Free Software Ride Hailing Systems?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Its always seemed to me that building the software behind things like Uber and Lyft would not be so hard.  If there was a free software version, then all of these taxi companies around the world would be able to compete with the monopolistic Uber juggernaut.  And there would be lots of opportunity to make the software respect privacy.

With Uber banned in Italy and other places, it seems like are some good opportunities for this:
