Uber might have cornered the market on ridesharing, but now tech’s biggest disrupter is being disrupted itself with news that rival app GoCatch is launching its own ridesharing service.

The Australian-developed taxi-hailing app launched in 2011 and, with 35,000 drivers and 100,000 bookings a month, has long competed against Uber in the taxi space.
