Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) has found a way to out-Uber Uber by launching a taxi-finding app of its own.
[...]Come December, the Authority will also offer a new app called "Taxi-Taxi@SG" that will "show the availability and location of taxis across the island and better match these taxis to commuters."
"Through an integrated platform map, commuters can easily locate the number of available taxis near them and broadcast their positions so taxi drivers can identify the exact locations of potential customers" the Authority says. "Similarly, taxi drivers can make use of this app to cut down the time spent on the roads looking for customers."
