The nation’s columnists are not at all happy with how the Uber/Careem vs. White taxis beef is playing out. It’s beyond comprehension how white taxis are coming out on top in the drama unfolding over the legal status of ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Careem, Abdel Nasser Salama writes for Al Masry Al Youm. White cabs have long provided subpar service and are being outperformed by the private companies, Salama says. Meanwhile, Ahram Gate’s Gamal Nafea lays the blame squarely at the government’s feet for allowing the situation to continue escalating until it reached boiling point, rather than having the foresight to realize that creating a legal framework for Uber and Careem was inevitable.
