Also, UBER charges the highest commission of them all. So its only a matter of time before Ottawa also has other choices, which take less commission from the drivers - and this Ottawa based one, is a first step in that direction.

While it seems like other apps should be able to undercut Uber hte history shows that this can be difficult. Look at something like Stubhub for tickets or Ebay etc. Once established it can be hard to dislodge a dominant incumbent.
