Articles about the future are by nature non-encyclopedic (see WP:NOT), also, appears to be original research to promote the author's views [1] Brighterorange 20:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• The phrases they will probably attempt to monopolize on-demand ridesharing., This could raise the cost of the service and also limit the size of the pool of drivers and riders to match., Legislation may be enacted requiring mobile phone providers to allow subscribers to select 3rd parties who may receive their coordinates., and Electronic credits may also be easily arranged so that drivers will be motivated to pick up riders as a means of defraying costs. clearly admits that this is a speculative article and why it should be deleted. --SuperDude 00:24, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
