MyTaxi is to begin converting London users of its acquired Hailo app to the German company’s smartphone software, as the unit of Daimler AG begins its fightback against Uber in the U.K. capital.
The Hamburg-based cab-hailing company has already moved more than 17,000 drivers who previously used the Hailo system to the MyTaxi app and plans to start converting U.K. customers this week, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Pinnington said.
