I remember seeing this app a couple months ago and being excited about a team finally doing this. They've been available in New York City for a while and now they're trying to raise money to expand to more places. Hopefully they open source the app\server in the future since it would be great to have more co-op apps for the other "gig economy" style apps.

A Co-op Ride to anywhere you want in NYC
$1,000

Honestly today, this was competitive pricing against Lyft...

Isn't new York flooded right now?

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Not any more, but yeah, most of the trains were suspended. I paid about $80 to get home to Brooklyn.

I saw a video that was showing that it was flooded… in spots… despite media coverage that gave the impression the whole island was underwater. And that mostly cleared up last night it seems.

Might be why it's hard to get a ride

Need an amphibious vehicle to get there

And if I could get a ride in this service today that might be relevant

Thanks for the correction.
