Episode description

Taxi drivers have held several demonstrations in Dublin city centre over recent weeks that have caused gridlock traffic in the capital. The target of their annoyance is a new fixed rate option that was recently introduced on the Uber app. How does the fixed fare option compare with the taxi app's previous offerings or with paying by the traditional meter? And how has Uber responded to complaints about the new feature? We're joined this week by The Journal reporter Andrew Walsh.
