Has anyone here used Little? What were your experiences?


My missus used it once when fleeing from me. Told me later it was a good experience (the taxi) and the price was better than Uber's.

Uber drivers protesting are fools. They think by increasing price they will get more profit...when in reality the demand for their services will drop.

very greedy and foolish.

Their issue is not just price but percentage.

Uber takes 25% of the amount per trip, they want them like Little to take sub 20%

It's fantastic, you even get to choose a radio station to listen to

My problem with them is that they have fewer drivers than Uber( so many times you will get the message "no service providers found")

The app will need an improvement of reliability and features( eg no route map in emails) but we should all aim to promote them as they're local and their drivers are happier than the Uber ones

Those drivers are fools, I repeat. Before Uber, most were jobless or sitting in traditional taxis maybe doing one trip a day. Now they take home between 40 and 60k a month and they feel it is not enough.

Woe if Uber decides to suspend operations, they can go back to idling at shopping centres and sleeping during the day.

Drivers may have a point...Uber is running on fumes:

After a discombobulated 2016, in which Uber burned through more than $2 billion, amid findings that rider fares only cover roughly 40 percent of a ride, with the remainder subsidized by venture capitalists, it’s hard to imagine Kalanick could take the company public at its stunning current valuation of nearly $70 billion.

Uber is doomed
