Hovit, based more on driver-rider relationship, is starting to grow here with hopes to expand to other cities.

LINK

quote:

The app, available for Apple and Android devices and serving users across Colorado, was designed with both riders and drivers in mind, Võ says. Riders can search for and request specific drivers, schedule rides in advance, and compare prices in the area or communicate with drivers to set their own price. “The benefit as a rider is I can search for my favorite drivers,” Võ says. “And I know whenever I need to go somewhere, that this is someone I trust.”

For drivers, Võ says the app is unique because it allows them to build a customer base of regular riders, as well as letting them keep 90 percent of their fares (as opposed to 75 percent on Uber and Lyft.) Because of this flexibility, drivers can set their own prices lower than standard transportation fees and make deals with their clientele.


Going to try it out this weekend.

I've been in Nola cabs that would be considered disgusting in the Dharavi Slum in Mumbai.

I'd rather sit on a toilet in a Bourbon St bar on Fat Tuesday than get back into some NOLA cabs I've been in.
