Pitch

The Kayak of local travel. See all ride sharing options in your immediate area.

Description

The emergence of numerous community-based transportation options (i.e., ride sharing) is great yet with people having memberships to many of the offered services, it can be difficult to compare and choose the best option at any given time and location.

This app will aggregate all Denver ride sharing options within a one to two mile radius of the user such as Uber, Lyft, B-Cycle, and Car2Go. The results will be filterable by distance and/or price and show the best route between the user and their final destination.

Target Audience

This application will be geared toward Denverites who take advantage of local travel ride sharing options and attempt to maintain a low-carbon footprint.
