Taxis Need to Scale Back Fleet to Compete with Ride-Sharing Apps, Fitch Says

Licensed cab operators and rentals in Indonesia will face a cash crunch and must scale back fleets next year, as rigid regulation limit their price competitiveness against ride-sharing apps, Fitch Ratings said on Wednesday.
"Demand for taxis and rental cars is already slowing due to weaker economic growth, and the growth of ride-sharing apps, such as Uber, Go-Jek and Grab Bike, has intensified competition in the transportation market," analysts at Fitch Ratings said in a statement.
