Getting Around
There are several ways to get around La Paz, Bolivia, including micro buses, trufi shared taxis, mini-buses, taxis, PumaKatari buses, and Wayna buses. The cable car system, known as Mi Teleférico, has also had a large positive social impact. However, an underground transportation system is not feasible due to La Paz's steep slopes and many rivers running below the city. Buenos Aires and Madrid both have well-developed public transportation networks including subways, trains, buses, taxis, and bike sharing.

Then Transit Exchange Opportunity
The document discusses ideas for improving and innovating the taxi industry. It suggests implementing a transit exchange that allows passengers to pre-summon shared rides in the vehicle type of their choosing. This would offer passengers more choice in service levels, prices, vehicle types, and ride qualities. The exchange could adapt in real-time to customer demand and match passengers going in similar directions dynamically using location-aware cellphones and social networks. The exchange has the potential to reduce traffic and costs while offering more flexible transportation options.
THE TACTICS BEHIND THE GLORY OF UBER TAXI’S
Uber was founded in San Francisco, California in 2009. It started as a transportation network company that utilized licensed taxi drivers for its ridesharing services. In recent years the business has introduced non-taxi driving rideshare services into its business model. The idea behind the business was to integrate a mobile application into its practices to connect passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire. The drivers within their network utilize luxury vehicles for passengers to ride in style like Lincoln Town Cars, Escalades, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes-Benz’s. Users are able to reserve vehicles by sending text messages or through the use of the application on their mobile devices. The customer can also track the vehicle as it makes its way to their location.

Disrupting the Taxi: Uber
Ray Markovich started driving a taxi in Chicago three years ago after shutting his struggling wireless phone store. Driving a cab wasn’t particularly gratifying or lucrative—he had to pay $400 a week just to lease his white 2011 Ford Escape. It was predictable if monotonous work. Well, there’s nothing monotonous about it now. In June, Markovich, a thin, well-dressed man with short brown hair and spots of gray in his mustache and goatee, walked into the local office of Uber, the San Francisco-based taxi technology start-up. Uber put him through an hour of orientation, gave him a free iPhone that carries its car dispatch app and some gear to mount it on the windshield, and sent him on his way.
Since then, Markovich has had to dodge flak from traditional cabbies who complain that they can no longer pick up riders in the city’s tonier neighborhoods, and he’s receiving a constant flood of emails from Uber itself, offering steep discounts on new cars and other perks to secure his loyalty. At the same time, he has increased his earnings by about 20 percent and says he’s simply evolving along with his customers. “No one under the age of 40 with a smart phone is going out and getting a cab anymore,” says Markovich. “I say if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.”
A battle for the future of transportation is being waged outside our offices and homes. Uber and a growing collection of well-funded start-ups, such as the .
