South African Uber rival Yo! Taxi! accused of intimidation

Shortly after the launch of South African e-hailing service Yo! Taxi!, drivers for other platforms such as Uber and Bolt launched a protest against the new platform, the Sunday Times reported.

These drivers accused the local e-hailing service of intimidation, alleging that Yo! Taxi! drivers had sought to intimidate them and buy them off.

TIA, only way a local "startup" can compete with the established players is by resorting to violence

if a damn wordpress+theme site is the best you can do though, you won't last long regardless (http://www.yotaxi.co.za/)

Yo Taxi is a scam - does not deserve a mention in the press and it won't be around 6 months from now.

I don't know, violence and intimidation has worked for the SA taxi industry for decades.

Agreed. Uber will eventually close door locally if the violence is not stopped.
