Scope this article in The New York Times to get a sense of the cab-sharing etiquette you’ll be able to expect once our platform is fully operational.
And HERE’s a more humorous–and aggressive–look at cab sharing etiquette, aimed at NYC’s new pilot program.

I have a penchant for calling a spade a spade, and a visionary a visionary.  And outgoing TLC commissioner Matt Daus is indisputably both, able to “move the earth” and “see into the future.”

Sir, we commend you, and look forward to building on your legacy.  You introduced the concept [...]

A friend of mine just exposed me to a new website he recently uncovered.  In truth, we’d stumbled on Zimride before, but it’s easy to forget all the players in this sector as it evolves.  What began as “cab sharing” has expanded to “ride sharing,” and clearly the public understands the concept and its value.
That’s [...]

An article in The New York Times recently reported that “[v]enture capitalists . . . last year invested the lowest amount in [technology start-ups] since 1997.”
That’s a pretty staggering statistic, though a certainly understandable one, given the economic climate.  Fortunately, though, Cabcorner, LLC and CabCorner.com have been able to survive the downturn and reduced venture [...]

The site exposed us to a few [...]

Check out the dispatches from New York City’s local news authority NY1.
FIRST, this report below demonstrates the public’s willingness to share cabs when conditions dictate.  It also emphasizes the ease with which an organic cab-sharing system developed during the city’s 200 taxi strike.
SECOND, this report explains the city government’s rationale in moving forward with its [...]

Don’t worry Mr. Mayor…
We’ll take it from here.  CabCorner will make up the difference.

We’ve reported on this previously, but this latest update confirms that New York City’s cab-sharing program is close to becoming a reality.  The timing couldn’t be better for CabCorner, LLC, as our website will require users already familiar with the cab-sharing concept.
Jon and I have encountered a lot of obstacles throughout our development process, but [...]

So Ajay recently discovered a new cab-sharing service apparently known as Taxi2.  It’s an interesting concept, I guess, although perhaps a little cumbersome.  (Read more about it HERE.)
Essentially, Taxi2 seeks to connect travels at airports who are heading the same direction upon disembarking.  Though, rather bizarrely, the entire system seems to revolve around [...]
