Literatures have stressed the importance of mode choice preference in accurately predicting the future travel demand. Despite having diverse travel needs and challenges coupled with the proliferation of informal operation of car hire services in Lagos over the years, there is still a lack of knowledge and understanding of the intra-mode use behaviour of Lagos metropolitan residents of taxi services. This is necessary to address the numerous challenges posed by inadequate transport supply within the Lagos metropolis. Using the availability of the traditional taxi (Lagos yellow cabs), Uber, Bolt, this study examines the factors that drive a sustainable intra-modal competition through the mode choice behaviour of a diverse Lagos population with residents sampled from selected areas where all the three modes operate within the Lagos metropolis. A structured questionnaire form was administered randomly to 174 commuters to find out the reasons behind their preference and their perception of the service delivery of ride service hailing operators in comparison to the traditional taxi (Lagos yellow cabs). The study revealed that Uber had the highest preference (41.3%) followed by Bolt (36.8%) with yellow cabs recording only 6.9%. Service charge (cost) for taxi service was responsible for 74.1% of intra-modal preferences. The stepwise multiple regression results further revealed that easy access to Uber and Bolt (through the use of ride-sharing apps) and service charge had significant influence on passengers’ intra-mode preference. The study suggests that government should step up action at reviving the ‘yellow cabs’ to boost access to taxi services within Lagos metropolis.

Uber Technologies, Inc. to międzynarodowa korporacja „parataksówkarska” posiadająca globalny zasięg, ale uwzględniająca lokalne warunki. Korporacja funkcjonuje w 65 państwach i przeszło 600 miastach na całym świecie, zwiększając jednocześnie udziały w rożnych, niezagospodarowanych dotąd rynkach. Warunkiem istotnym dla zwiększania tego zasięgu, jest konieczność zastosowania podejścia glokalnego, czyli dostosowania modelu biznesowego firmy do wymagań i preferencji lokalnych rynków oraz jego użytkowników, poprzez m.in. dywersyfikację oferty o nowe aplikacje, także o charakterze niszowym. Produkty oparte na technologii Uber dostępne są bowiem pod różnymi markami, np.: UberTAXI, UberRUSH, UberFRESH, UberEATS. Holistyczny model biznesowy korporacji, wyniki finansowe, a także alianse i współpraca z innymi firmami high-tech dowodzą, że Uber Technologies skoncentrowane jest na realizacji podejścia grobalnego: rozwoju, wzroście oraz zwiększaniu udziału w rynku globalnym.

Uber Technologies Inc. is an international taxi-like corporation with a global reach, but taking into account local conditions. The corporation operates in 80 countries and more than 500 cities around the world and at the same time it increases shares in different, undeveloped before markets. An important condition for increasing the global reach is the glocal approach, that is adapting the business model to the requirements and preferences of local markets and its users, by for example diversification of the offer with new applications, including the niche ones. The products based on Uber technology are available under various brand names, such as: UberTAXI, UberRUSH, UberFRESH, UberEATS. A holistic business model, financial performance, as well as alliances and cooperation with other high-tech companies show that Uber Technologies is focused on the implementation of the grobal approach: the development, growth and increasing shares in global market.

This paper gives a summation of two most popular individual transport companies available in Krakow, Uber and TrafiCar. These are modern urban alternatives for the standard means of transport, taxi cabs and public transportation. Selected companies give a customer the opportunity to use a combination of modern technology (Uber) and completely different attitude to the process of transportation (TrafiCar) - carsharing. Modern solutions can substitute old-fashioned means of transport. Flexible market proves that there is still a plenty of room for innovative solutions. The results of questionnaire presented on social media on a group of 285, mostly young (18-25 years old) people, proved that major factor in selection are the price of the product. Described companies predicate their strategy on price. The other key elements for mostly young people are the possibility of a use of modern technologies and comfort of travelling. The future of transportation gives a chance for both, private companies and city solutions. Local authorities plan to introduce their own way of carsharing as an impulse given from young companies that aggressively stepped in changed the market. The possibility of harmonic coexistence ensures constant of individual transport solutions in the city.
