El Reg reports

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."

    Paul did more damage to the teachings of Christ than any other roman of his time. He was a control freak, insecure, and manipulative. He only used Jesus as a vehcile to set his own agenda. No wonder the early Church loved this guy, he literally wrote the book on now to control the population through religion and fear.

    On topic, I get your point. My colloquial expression is Greedism, a model that does more to destroy society than any other in existence.
