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 [...]

An accidental use of Google introduced Jon to a curious site known as “Social Ignite,” which apparently aggregates rich media pertaining to a particular search topic.  Pretty useful, it turns out, for due diligence purposes.
Click HERE to scope the page.  Promisingly, CabCorner’s videos comprise about 50% of the results.
The site exposed us to a few [...]

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 [...]

Well family, I’m proud to announce that our very own Jonathan was recently positioned as the foremost authority on cab-sharing, the new “green” movement designed to revolutionize, upgrade, streamline, and reduce the costs of urban travel.  Check out our latest review in In Transition Magazine.

Folks:
Perhaps my knack for the cab industry was evidenced by my staggeringly accurate prediction that one day I would read the following:
