В 2019 году Ситимобил пришёл в Петербург. Я тогда публично задал вопрос руководителю PR службы Ситимобила: зачем нужно восьмое приложение такси у меня в телефоне. Но ответ был супер невнятный, что-то в духе "Пусть будет". При этом такси уже тогда был высококонкуретным рынком, поделённым монополистами, а я тогда был самой что ни на есть целевой аудиторией: гик с деньгами и без личного автомобиля, живущий в огромном дождливом городе.
Несколько дней назад объявили о закрытии Ситимобила. Понятно, что триггером этого закрытия послужили известные события, но там в статьях упоминается, что бизнес работал в минус, владельцы просто закрывают убыточные направления.
Разумеется, эти события не связаны, а пиарщики не обязаны были мне отвечать. Однако, есть некоторые моменты, которые могут служить признаком хорошей или плохой работы процессов. На мой взгляд, ответ на вопрос "зачем ты нужен" должен быть у любого бизнеса прописан в его ядре и находиться в быстром доступе. Каким-то другим вопросам позволительно быть неоднозначными: например, почему услуга или товар стоит столько-то, а не дешевле/дороже. Ценовая политика вообще сложная штука, зависящая от кучи факторов.
Позже я убедился в том, что у сервиса проблемы: уже упоминал когда-то в этом блоге, как трижды подряд водители отменяли заказы, как в другой раз водитель посчитал цену низкой и отказался везти, и так далее.
В общем, я скучать не буду, прости, Ситимобил. Пойду заказывать Яндекс.

Some snippets from Greta’s interview after being deported by Israeli authorities. Continue fighting for Palestinians in Gaza, including those in wider Palestine who are unlawfully imprisoned, including over 400 children.

Lara, speaking from Brazil, has had no contact with her husband, Thiago Ávila, since he was abducted and detained illegally by Israeli forces from the 'Madleen'. Since then, Thiago has been placed in solitary confinement, denied communication with his family.
According to Lara, Israeli authorities threatened Thiago with the psychological torment of isolation without light or ventilation. Despite this, Thiago remains on hunger strike, holding firm to his belief in justice for Palestinians and the right of every child to food, safety, and freedom.
From his prison cell, he wrote a letter to his 1-year-old daughter. Lara generously shares that with us today.
This is a call not just for Thiago’s release—but for the world to pay attention to Gaza, to Palestine, and to all people who are exploited, forced to live under occupation.

Freedom Flotilla Official Update: It's time for our governments to do their jobs and sanction Israel. Its illegal attack on 'Madleen' while sailing in international waters is a small extension of their war crimes in Gaza. Governments, institutions, media, and corporations must stop protecting Israel, now. They must stop prioritising profit over human lives, now. Protect our volunteers while protecting Palestinians in Gaza and wider Palestine.

Yanis Mhamdi, from his prison cell: “If I had to do it all over again, I'd do exactly the same thing”.
Illegally detained in Israel since the attack on the “Gaza Freedom Flotilla” in international waters, journalist Yanis Mhamdi sent us a letter, written from his prison cell, before news had reached him of a possible one month extension due to Israel's attacks on Iran.

"Families of Gaza are not less important than my family. It’s by mere chance that we are not one of those families that are in Gaza right now."
Thiago Ávila, father and activist aboard 'Handala', will sail towards Gaza with an urgent mission: to break the illegal siege and stand with the children of Gaza. 'Handala' is a small boat, but it carries the weight of a global uprising for justice. As catastrophic famine unfolds across Gaza, evidence of heinous sexual and physical violence by the IOF continues to emerge, and the Israeli and U.S.-backed genocide persists with impunity, people power is more integral than ever—it’s up to us to shape a new society.
The world must not turn its eyes away. Keep your eyes on 'Handala'. Share our mission, amplify Palestinian voices, and do everything you can to stand for Gaza. The flood of change is coming—be part of it. #FreedomFlotilla#Handala#FreePalestine#Gaza#AllEyesOnDeck#FreeGaza#WeWillSail#Thiago#Brazil#HumanRights#Genocide#IOF
Our objectives—to break the blockade and raise awareness of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza—remain unchanged. We will provide updates on our next departure when we are ready to sail again.
In the meantime, we urge you to join the #NoHarbourForGenocide campaign to take action against the siege on Gaza by opposing every country and company complicit in this genocide. #handala#ffc#freedomflotillacoalition#freegaza#freepalestine#endtheoccupation#breakthesiege#endtheblockade#iof#warcrimes#icc#icj
