As many if not all of you know, UZURV is an app that works in tandem with Uber and Lyft that enables passengers to pre-arrange rides with the drivers of their choice.
I firmly believe that UZURV, as is, will fail.
Why?
1. They are not partnered or affiliated with Uber or Lyft. This is why they don’t advertise other than to drivers, and their message is essentially “promote us”. They cannot meaningfully advertise to the riding public because they can’t use the words Uber or Lyft.
2. Their model for airport pickups is untenable. The driver is supposed to park somewhere near the airport ( but NOT in the TNC zone) and somehow receive the request from their intended passenger among all of the request traffic that flies around near the airport. The passenger then has to meet the driver at some prearranged spot. Compare this to the standard user experience (which I do several times each week) wherein I get my bags, go to the curb, request a ride, wait a brief time, and off I go.
3. No one is using this app. Look at the number of reviews for the driver and passenger apps. I’ve been signed up with UZURV for several weeks. In that time, exactly one ride has come through in the feed.
IMO UZURV is a waste of memory on your phone. I’m keeping the app for a while just to see if my belief is accurate.
Make money. Be safe.
