00:00 Is it just a Highland Uber?
00:07 Yeah, I've been asked this a few times.
00:13 This is why we're getting that out of the way.
00:15 No, it's not. I mean, this is the exact opposite.
00:18 I mean, we are hoping this gives other taxi companies and other areas a tool to fight back against Uber.
00:26 I mean, Uber, I mentioned there's 400,000 drivers in the UK. Uber has 100,000 of these drivers.
00:33 Since Uber started, they've seen off lots of small companies, family-run companies.
00:40 I don't know, approximately 700 companies have disappeared from the UK because Uber have swallowed them up.
00:48 Uber charge their drivers around 30% commission on each fare, and that 30% leaves the country, goes back to the shareholders, doesn't stay here.
01:00 You know, Safe Cab is the exact opposite.
01:04 We're local. It's developed here in the UK.
01:07 We want to work with local operators around the country and support these operators and local drivers.
01:14 So it's very much against Uber.
