Uber Will List NY Taxis on Its App

The video discusses Uber's ambitious plan to integrate every taxi worldwide into their app by 2025, starting with New York. This move is seen as a strategic step to gain a competitive edge over Lyft and address the driver shortage. The integration will allow 14,000 NYC taxis to be available on the Uber app, potentially increasing earnings for cab drivers due to a city-set minimum wage that is often higher than traditional metered fares. This initiative aims to boost business for cab drivers who have faced reduced demand since the rise of ride-hailing services.
