How is Grab (the South East Asia competitor of Uber/Lyft) able to offer a better experience in terms of
1. nicer, more modern, cleaner, better smelling, vehicles
2. easy ride hailing using GPS and complete with a digital record
than pretty much every taxi company in Alaska? And they do it while charging peanuts. My worst Grab experience is still better than my best taxi experience in Alaska.

I'd be happy (well not exactly happy but...) to pay existing exorbitant Alaska rates if the taxi-ride experience in Alaska was at least on par with what's offered in poor developing nations.
