How they differentiate

Unlike Uber which operates as a ride-hailing marketplace, GO partners deeply with existing taxi operators (rooted in Nihon Kotsu, Tokyo's largest taxi operator). This regulatory-compliant model gives GO 80% market share vs Uber's limited presence. GO is also the only Japanese ride-hailing app with a Waymo robotaxi partnership and went public as a profitable company.
