Perhaps you heard about our competitor’s run-in with the law: an Uber-affiliated cab driver was pulled over in Washington and the driver was ticketed… and despite degrees in both law and business, I have no freaking idea why.
Apparently, Uber’s owner doesn’t either.  Nor does the City Council, which concedes that what Uber was doing is [...]

In the earliest months of CabCorner’s adventures in the media, much was made of the fact that my partner Jon and I had met at Wesleyan University–where he had subjected to me countless wonderful trials while inducting me into our fraternity.  And a few years after our respective graduations, we reconnected to birth what has [...]

Dearest Readers:
About fourteen months ago, we received several emails from newly-acquired CabCorner users (who had just read about us in various local media outlets) that expressed joy for having found our solution to the “lonely taxi problem,” as one writer characterized it.  (They were referring to the lack of cab-sharing options prior to the introduction [...]

We here at CabCorner have admired Zimride’s model for quite some time.  Although the company operates in a slightly different space, it is a fellow player in the ridesharing sector.  Both Zimride and CabCorner share very similar goals: to save people money and reduce pollution by facilitating shared rides.

There was recently an article reporting on the demise of Car Pools throughout America.  Ridesharing programs have declined in popularity due to a wide range of cultural factors, such as the increased prevalence of “working from home” and the wider availability of affordable vehicles.
Well, prepare for the trends to reverse, as gasoline once again begins [...]

An absolutely incredible revelation in The New York Times emphasizes the undeniable wisdom–perhaps even the necessity–of cab-sharing in New York City.

New data confirms “what generations of New Yorkers have long known in their bones: Just as the afternoon rush is about to begin, the taxicabs disappear by the hundreds.”
There’s a rational explanation for this, of [...]

If CabCorner’s model of user-interactivity–designed to communicate with both other users and the cabbies needed to service them–required additional proof of concept, I’m sure it would lie herein.  Thank you, snow.

Merry Christmas folks!  Just a quick post to keep you apprised of the industry…
Just over a month ago, we reported that The Artist Formerly Known As UberCab had obtained significant financing.  Well, fresh on the heels of this success comes Avego, the ridesharing operator who just announced an infusion over $5 million.
