Assessing the impact of digital innovations in the London transportation network

Wood, Zena; Parry, Glenn; Carruthers, Janet; Rose, Kayla

Abstract

Findings suggest that the digital innovations introduced by Uber disrupted the market and changed the nature of how people interact with the wider transportation system. Uber has made it easier for individuals to move around the city, filling a gap in the existing transportation system. Uber have rapidly achieved a leading position in the private hire taxi service across the city. Regulation for Black Cabs needs to change if they are to compete and remain a service in the broader customer market.
