GoCatch was shedding passengers before UberX arrived, court told

Failed Australian transport start-up GoCatch had lost 90 per cent of its users as it faced chronic issues over drivers failing to turn up for passengers, one month before UberX began competing with it.

Uber’s barrister John Sheahan, KC, on Monday told the Victorian Supreme Court this demonstrated GoCatch was a “failing product” that was “not meeting the needs of passengers”, without interference from Uber.
