This is a new concept. Spent Monday night in D.C at a hotel, and in my room was this ‘tag-like-card’ with this printed come-on; in addition the first ride would be free up to $30. Three steps: download the app 2. go to payment and enter code for free ride ‘heart’ 3. request a ride. Downloaded the app. This app comes with an ‘agreement’ you had better read. [read once where a young man said ‘all those agreement statements that are pages long, I figure it’s like the Bible, something I should know, and so I agree’. Trust me, it is not so with this one. Read it all. It states things like: if you don’t cancel ride request within 5 min. it will be a $5 charge; the company has no responsibility concerning what occurs between driver and rider; work it out between you. The price of the fare is a ‘donation’ – there are no guidelines as to what that is. In a few cities there is a charge – no indication of what that was either. After doing step 1&2, I came to the screen, ‘request a ride’. So I clicked on it, to see what it looked like. It took me a couple of minutes to realize that just by looking at it, I had requested a ride. A ride that was 2 minutes away. But at the time this didn’t register, I thought there would be a screen in between, so went away from the page…. but it nagged and I returned and realized that a request was in process – but it was not yet 5 minutes. so I cancelled. The next morning, decided to use it rather than a cab. And with the experience of the previous night, figured a ride was 2 minutes away. Put in a request. On the little map, a car starts moving, the picture of the driver and of the car appear in a box at the bottom, with the note ‘arriving in 10 minutes’. Found that a long time, but I had 10 minutes. The end of the story. Car arrived 25 minutes after ordering, ride was not free, but charged $5. and driver was using GPS to navigate. [I know the DC by heart]. I could see when originally watching car movement, the car did not go the most direct route to get to me. This app is applicable to many cities according to the website. It apparently comes to the CITY this Friday – good luck with that. It is not operative in Portland, OR. Let me know if any one of you try it. Would really like to hear how it is supposed to work. [ I deleted the app from my phone.]
