Uber not needed here

I AM READING about Uber entering the local market.

Within Barbados’ current economic space, there is really no need for any wholesale entry of Uber.

Ideally, local entrepreneurs should have already been developing such a concept with a strong marketing and sales strategy to create healthy competition to the present unreliable and substandard transportation product being offered to commuters.

We continue to be excellent followers rather than visionary pioneers and innovators.
