MyTaxi expands in UK as parent Daimler plots the future of cars
Frankfurt
MYTAXI is to begin converting London users of its acquired Hailo app to the German company's smartphone software, as the unit of Daimler AG begins its fightback against Uber in the UK capital.
The Hamburg-based cab-hailing company has already moved more than 17,000 drivers who previously used the Hailo system to the MyTaxi app and plans to start converting UK customers this week, CEO Andrew Pinnington said. In London, more than 30,000 licensed private-hire drivers use the Uber app, according to a company spokesman.
