Some people feel that the local taxi companies in Finland should build their own app that mimics Uber and, in so doing, keep money and benefits in Finland, instead of allowing a US business to step in and reap the benefits. Some feel that with so many talented people in Finland an even better solution could be built.

However, others argue that while the city could offer the same services as Uber, they haven’t done so yet. Some Finnish residents complain of the ridiculous fares and long waits that are an accepted part of taking a taxi in Finland.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
