Thanks Kate! Most of the items you mentioned in your comments will be part of my next blogs in the coming weeks.

For my next blog, I will be covering the economic and financial considerations of RSS. Also, I will include my perspective on why we as a society need to care about the RSS. It is indeed an interesting topic.

As I was doing my research, I did some interviews with actual taxi drivers. Some of them are doing part time work for Uber. In terms of income, they said they earn more (within a small amount of time) from Uber as they do not need to queue in the taxi stands and wait for passengers. The Uber application helped them in dispatching vehicles efficiently.

In my third blog, I will be covering the RSS legal implications. This will include the regulatory and compliance aspects (tax, licensing requirement, safety etc.) of RSS and its operations.

I encourage you to read my second and third blogs, as I am really keen to get inputs from other people on what they think. Watch this space!
