Bhokisa iteksi okanye ucofe i-smartphone yakho? Umfazi usebenzisa i-smartphone yakhe ngelixa enqumla kwikona yesitalato ngo-Novemba. 13, 2014 eNew York. (DON EMMERT / AFP / imifanekiso kaFetty) Umbonisi ubhala phantsi iimilo eziye zaba yinto yemihla ngemihla yedabi phakathi kwabanikezeli beenkonzo zeeteksi zemveli kunye neeapps zokwabelana ngokukhwela ezinje ngeUber, iLyft, iVia kunye neGett eziphazamisa imodeli yeshishini.
NgoLwesine, uMbonisi waqhuba ibali elalisentloko (ngandlela thile, njengesiqhelo salo mpapasho…) Umzi mveliso weeteksi ukuDilika nje. I-Hyperbole okanye akunjalo, ibali lalisekwe kwinto eyoyikisayo: IsiXeko saseFiladelphia besizama ukothula iimallallions ezingama-45 okoko zawa. Kuba ezi yayiziimallallions zokuqala ukubetha kwintengiso kwiminyaka eli-15, isixeko sasinethemba lokufumana i-475,000 yeedola enye kubo. Emva kweenyanga ezintandathu, ezintathu zazo zathengisa-ngeedola ezingama-80,000 kuphela-iipesenti ezili-17 zexabiso lokucela.
Ewe ewe, izinto azilunganga kwishishini kwaye yiyo loo nto abona bantu baninzi beembasa kwiSixeko saseNew York bebexhonyiwe ukuze baxolelwe kwaye bade balungiselela intlanganiso eyimfihlo neebhanki zabo, abaqale ukwenza ingxolo malunga nokugqobhoza kwiimbasa , ngaphambili yayixabisa malunga ne-1.3 yezigidi zeedola kwaye ngoku ikwi-725,000 yeedola ukuya kwi-920,000 yeedola Uluhlu .
Abafana be-medallion batyhalele ngasemva ngomsindo. Bona kunye nabalingane babo bezopolitiko bathi abaphazamisi bavele enkundleni kwaye bayala ukudlala ngemithetho. Kwi-imeyile ye-epic eya kwi-Braganca, u-Ethan Gerber, umlawuli olawulayo kunye neengcebiso ngokubanzi ze-Greater New York Taxi Association, wenza ityala elinyanzelisayo elichaza indawo yokudlala engalinganiyo:
Kumashumi eminyaka, besinelungelo elilodwa lesichotho esisesitalatweni ngokusemthethweni; Sifumene elo lungelo ngokutshintshisa kungekuphela nje ukuhlawula izigidi koovimba besixeko kodwa nokusebenza ngokukuyo kweyona ndawo ilawulwa kakhulu kuyo nayiphi na ishishini labucala. Yonke imiba yeshishini lethu ilawulwa-iintlobo zezithuthi, ukumakishwa kwazo, izixhobo zazo, xa kufuneka zithathe umhlala-phantsi, iirhafu ezihlawulwayo kubagibeli, ukuqeshisa kwabaqhubi, indawo esisebenza kuzo, itekhnoloji esiyisebenzisayo nkqu namagama kunye nomxholo Zonke iikhontrakthi esizisayinileyo zonke bezilawulwa ngokukodwa kwaye zanyanzeliswa yi-TLC, neziphumo ezibi zesohlwayo esiqatha ukurhoxiswa kweembasa zethu ukuba asiyenzi.
Namhlanje sikhuphisana nesichotho sasesitalatweni kunye neenkampani eziphantse zangabikho kwezi zithintelo. Ayisiyiyo kuphela indawo yokudlala ekufuneka ilungiselelwe ukuba ezi nkampani zeapp zikhuphisane nohlobo olufanayo lwemigaqo esiyenzayo kodwa abo banokubona kwangaphambili ukwenza izinto ezintsha kufuneka bavunyelwe kwaye bakhuthazwe ukuba benze njalo. Ngelixa iinkampani zeapp zikhululekile ukuvuselela iimveliso zazo, kufuneka singenise yonke into entsha kwi-TLC ukuya kwi-labyrinths yolawulo olunzulu kunye neziphelo.
Ngamafutshane, iiteksi zihlawule kumanani asixhenxe ilungelo lokuthatha i-shmoe kwaye bayomfaka eLaGuardia emotweni ekufuneka ipeyintiwe lo mbala kwaye yamkele elo khadi lekhredithi kwaye kufuneka iqhutywe ngumqhubi okhuselekileyo nonembeko uyayithobela yonke imithetho yezendlela (kwaye ngubani ohlawule iidola ezingama-75 ngelungelo lokuprintwa ngeminwe) kwaye uthetha isiNgesi kwaye uyazi iJografi yesixeko.
Leyo yindawo entle kakhulu. Kwaye ngokwembono yabo, omnye umfana kwigumbi elingaphantsi likanina uboleka iYukon kwaye ngequbuliso ungumqhubi we-Uber.
Ngapha koko, kwisiXeko saseNew York, abaqhubi be-Uber bayacelwa ukuba badibane nezinto ezininzi (kodwa ayizizo zonke) zeemfuno eziqhelekileyo zeeteksi. Abaqhubi babo kufuneka babe nelayisensi ye-TLC, isithuthi kufuneka sibe neepleyiti ze-TLC kwaye sinxulunyaniswe nesiseko kwaye sibe neinshurensi eyoneleyo yokufumana ikhadi le-FH-1 (yokuqesha).
Ayothusi into yokuba iinkampani zeapps ziyibona imeko ngokwahlukileyo. Kwaye baqeshe umkhosi wamagosa aseburhulumenteni bangaphambili abanobuchule ekuxeleleni elabo icala.
Isithethi sika-Uber u-Matthew Wing, othe wade wenza lo msebenzi u-Gov Cuomo, uxelele i-Braganca, i-Uber itshintsha inkqubo yezothutho ye-New York City ibe ngcono. Abaqhubi banamathuba amatsha okufumana indlela yokuphila engcono, ukuncoma ucalucalulo yinto yexesha elidlulileyo kwaye abantu baseNew York kwizithili zangaphandle banokufumana ukukhwela okuthembekileyo ukuya nokubuya kwiindawo abahlala kuzo. Akumangalisi ukuba ishishini leeteksi lizakuzama ukumisa le nkqubela phambili kunye nawo nawuphi na umzamo wokubonelela abaqhubi abaninzi ngamathuba angcono okufumana umvuzo, kodwa eyona nto ilungele umdla onamandla ongaqhelekanga ngumgaqo-nkqubo waseNew York.
Ke ngoku yintoni? Ngaba iiteksi ziyamelana nethemba lokutshintsha kwaye azi ukuba ziVidiyo yeBlokbuster? Okanye ngaba ii -apps zabelana ngabadlali abanobuqhophololo abaye baphumelela kumzi mveliso olawulwa kakhulu kwaye balishiya nje inyathelo elingafanelekanga lokuhlawula iirandi ezizigidi ngeli lungelo?
Yimfazwe kwaye omabini amacala axhobe kakuhle Amanqaku okuthetha kunye nabantu abanobuhlobo nobudlelwane noluntu. Emva kokuvela kwebali lokuwa kweteksi ngoLwesine, abantu abaliqela kolu shishino banxibelelana ukongeza inyani okanye umthunzi wegrey. Kodwa eyona nto inomdla esadibana nayo ekunikeni ingxelo yile:
Yinto enye ku-Uber (kunye nabanye, kodwa u-Uber ngumdlali we-app obalaseleyo apha) ukutyeshela imigaqo ye-byzantine ekufuneka ilandelwe ngabaqhubi beeteksi. Kodwa iiteksi zigcina ukuba i-Uber igxotha kwanemithetho leyo konke abaqhubi kufuneka balandele. Ifoto engasekhohlo ibonisa iimoto ezimalunga nama-30 zokukhwela abakhweli abalinde kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kwinto eyaziwa ngokuba yi-'Uber lanes 'ngenxa yokuba bengatyhalwa ngabantu abathanda izithuthi; ngasekunene, imoto ka-Uber, eyayisusa iplacard yayo ngaphambi nje kokuba iye kwisithuba esibhalwe ngokucacileyo ukuba ‘Akumi.’ (New York Braganca)
Jonga ezi zithombe zimbini zingasentla.
Ujonge kwimiqolo ye-Ubers kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya i-JFK yokupaka ngokungekho mthethweni kwiindawo ezimileyo ukuze zisondele kangangoko ukuze zifumane i-ping xa umhambi ohleliyo ekulungele ukukhwela.
Njengoko unokuxela kwi-hood etyheli, ifoto yathathwa yi-cabbie-ke ayingombonisi ongakhethi cala. Kodwa icace ngokulinganayo ukuba akukho Ukuma; Ukulayisha ngokusebenzayo kunye nokwehlisa kuTyikityo kuphela, kunye noluhlu lweemoto ezimnyama ezilinde abakhweli.
Into emangalisa ngakumbi yile ifoto ingezantsi. Umntu olapha e-burgundy vest kufanele ukuba alondoloze ukugcwala, kodwa endaweni yoko Umthumeli weeteksi ubonwa ngokwenyani efundisa usetyenziso ukukhwela apho kufuneka alinde khona ngelixa i-app ye-SUV inqanda imoto eqhelekileyo yabalimi 'kwiindlela zika-Uber.' (New York Braganca)
Ukugxotha ii-Ubers, ezingavumelekanga ukuba zithathe isichotho sasesitalatweni kwaye ngenxa yoko azinakuhlangana apho, eneneni yayiqondisa abaqhubi be-Uber apho babemisa khona balinde abakhweli ukuba bababambe. Njengoko ubona, umqhubi owabelana nge-app kwi-Suburban ade wayivalela i-Scion encinci engwevu ukuze ingangeni kwimizila ye-Uber.
Omnye umqhubi weteksi owangqina ukuba ungubani kuMqwalaseli kodwa wala ukuvumela igama lakhe ukuba lisetyenziswe kuba andizami ukuba i-TLC ilahlekelwe ngamaphepha-mvume okuhlaziya amaphepha-mvume axelele uMbonisi ukuba akabukhathalelanga ubukho buka-Uber kuba uyakholelwa abaqhubi babo benza kancinci kakhulu kwaye ngenxa yoko batshisa ngokukhawuleza. Uthe ngelixa uqoqosho lwabaphethe iMallion lusenokwenzeka ukuba luwile, ishishini ngokwalo-elithetha ibango nabaqhubi-liqhuba kakuhle.
Ndingatsho ngokuzithemba ukuba umvuzo wam awutshintshanga. Ndiyazi ukuba abaqhubi kwaye ingeniso yabo ayitshintshanga. Ngokucacileyo, xa abantu bebuza abaqhubi ngayo, bonke bathi ingeniso yabo yehlile kodwa uninzi lwabaqhubi bathanda ukukhalaza. Kodwa thetha nabaqhubi abakwiforamu [ka-Uber] kwaye bazakukucacisela indlela imivuzo yabo eyehle ngayo.
Lo mqhubi uqinisekisile ukuba izikhululo zeenqwelo moya zihlala zinemigca emibini-uqikelele iimoto ezingama-30 ubuncinci bezithuthi zabucala ezilindele ukuphawulwa kwaye azifane zileqwa ngabasemagunyeni. Ubanga, ndade ndathetha nomntu owayethumela kuyo kwaye wandixelela ukuba waxelelwa ukuba angabatyhali. Oko kunokuba nzima ukukholelwa ngaphandle kokuba umbonisi naye ujonge ividiyo- edutyulwe ngolunya ukuba abelane ngayo, kwaye ikwabonisa ukuba ngubani otyibilikileyo-obonise umthumeli weeteksi otyheli e-JFK ekhokela abaqhubi be-Uber ukuba basondele kwiindlela zabo nanini na Imoto ka-Uber ishiyekile. Ngokucacileyo, nabathumeli bagqibe ekubeni izabelo zeapps zibonelela ngenkonzo eyongezelelweyo eyimfuneko.
Abanini be-medallion, abadla ngokuba negalelo elinzima kwezopolitiko kwaye baphalaze izigidi koovimba beedolophu ngokuthenga iimallion, baya kuqhubeka nokusebenzisa amandla abo ezopolitiko ukukhusela i-turf yabo. Kwaye iinkampani zeapps ziya kuqhubeka nokuqesha amagosa aseburhulumenteni angaphambili kuwo onke amanqanaba kunye nokupeyinta abakhethiweyo njengeedinosaurs ezibona ukuba banikele inkxaso. (Ngale ntsasa nje, u-Uber uncede ekusasazeni ileta enamagama esiya kuSodolophu u-Blasio Ityikitywe ziingcali ezimbini zeteknoloji kubandakanya u-Facebook, uGoogle noTwitter bebongoza isixeko ukuba singalungelelanisi iMigaqo yokuSasazwa kweFHV ecetywayo, ethi u-Uber ayinyanzelise iindleko ezinganyamezelekiyo.) Kwimeko apho omnye ethandabuzayo ukuba le miqolo mibini yee-SUV ezimnyama ezifanayo ezilale kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya zidibene ne-Uber, nanku umfanekiso wesikrini osuka kwiJFK Terminal 4 obonisa ubukho bendledlana enelungelo elinjalo. (Umbonisi waseNew York)
Into evelayo luhlobo lomlo wamanzi apho kungekho cala linokuqhubela phambili kakhulu ngelixa elinye lisenomlo othile. Abathathi-nxaxheba kumacala omabini babhenele kwiindlela ze-guerilla. Umzekelo, ngalo lonke ixesha umqhubi osekwe kwi-app naphi na kweli lizwe etyholwa ngokuziphatha gwenxa, uMqwalaseli kunye nezinye iindawo ezikhuselweyo zigutyungelwa ziitweets ezibonisa ukuba abaqhubi bonke bangabadlwenguli abanxilileyo. Ukuba i-Uber eneepleyiti zeJersey ibonwe eManhattan, abanye abaqhubi be-Uber bayakukhusela i-turf yabo ngokufota i-thingie yakhe ye-iPad ukuzama ukubonisa ukuba ufumana ii-pings kwaye angalahli nje umkhweli. Kubi phaya. Kwaye ulwalathiso lwengxelo esemthethweni ethathe ngokunjalo, ukongeza ithinti yobuqu.
UStu Loeser, owayesakuba ligosa laseBloomberg ngoku othetha no-Uber, uxelele i-Braganca, ubume bokuhamba kwe-Uber, apho abaqhubi bahlawulwa khona ixesha kunye nomgama, kukhuthaza ukuqhuba ngokukhuselekileyo kuba abaqhubi bafumana okuninzi xa bengahambi ngathi bayaphambana ukuya kwindawo ekuyiwa kuyo. Ayisosiphoso sabaqhubi beetekisi ezityheli ukuba indlela yabo yokuhamba ibakhuthaza ukuba bathathe umngcipheko wokuphambana nabakhweli, kodwa sisiphumo.
Ngokunjalo, uMnu.Gerber uyalahla ubuchule be -apps. Vumela abakwaWall Streeters kunye nepesenti enye babe ne-Ubers kunye neeLyfts-abanye bethu bafuna ukhetho lokuqesha olungenamfihlo, uxanduva lokuphendula kunye nexabiso lokuqikelela-hayi ezo zibekwe kwinkampani okanye ngendlela engacacanga neyokutshintsha.
Kushushu kwaye kunenzondo, kodwa kukho inqaku lokushiya ukuba izitrato kuya kufuneka zibanzi ngokwaneleyo ukulungiselela zombini iindlela zokukhwela abakhweli. Kwi-twist eya kuthi ngokuqinisekileyo ivuyise oongxowa-nkulu, le mfazwe phakathi kwe-monopolists kunye ne-strand ye-tech bros ibonakala iyinzuzo kubantu abaqhelekileyo abafuna nje ukuya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
