Israeli cab hailing app raises $150 million to take on Uber and Lyft

Tired of the Uber and Lyft drama? There’s another taxi app you should be paying attention to. GetTaxi, also known as Gett, just announced a big $150M funding round, reports Israeli news site Globes. The announcement comes two months after competing service Uber raised $1.2 billion in funding. Taxi hailing is the hot new venture. Much of the attention has centered on the drama between Uber and Lyft, and possible attempts at sabotage. Uber employees have been reportedly scheduling car rides with other services like Lyft and Gett, then canceling them. Gett has taken something of a back seat to all the publicity.
