tbh I didn't remember when exactly it launched. I agree that Germany might not be an obvious market because public transportation tends to be pretty good. Except after midnight on weekdays, or sometimes on the weekend, or when you want to go somewhere quickly, or with a group of people :)

Also, people obviously do use taxis even in Germany, and myTaxi replaces the middleman (taxi dispatchers) and replaces them with tech, so they can take a smaller cut, and claim to be impartial. Taxi drivers seem particularly disgruntled with dispatchers in Hamburg and Berlin and are happy about myTaxi giving them back some control – and more of the profit.
