Comment For free sometime. (Score 3, Informative) 130

Where I live we have a public audio-video archive that does conversions for free, but they ask for a copy if something of value for the community is on the footage, like festivals, concerts, parades or views of public places in the past and stuff like that.
Check that first, you can't beat 'free'.

"It's not the app. Yes, you can drive people around the city in your car, but once you start charging them to take them somewhere, you are operating a taxi service."

Not at all. There have been things called 'Mitfahrzentralen' (Travel with somebody) for decades in Germany (complete with apps etc) where you can post your desired road trip and people who drive that way can take them as passengers to share the costs.

The only difference here is the definition what the real 'costs' are.

"But there would be less traffic if there were fewer delivery vehicles on the road. Especially those noisy diesel vans."

I was in Amsterdam last week and the ugly brown UPS trucks were electric, I was almost run over by one because I couldn't hear it coming.
It's just a regulation thingie, if they get forced to make no noise inside city limits, they don't.
