]]> Comment on Is this the beginning or the end? by Jesse http://blog.cabcorner.com/2009/05/is-this-the-beginning-or-the-end/comment-page-1/#comment-741 Jesse Thu, 28 May 2009 01:17:20 +0000 http://blog.cabcorner.com/?p=235#comment-741 Check out our Founder's thoughts on the subject: "Upon hearing that this article was written, before actually reading it, I was anxious and agitated. However, after reading it, I realize that not only does this push the needle on the concept of sharing cabs and thus creates more public acceptance of the idea, it is clear that even if their first year pilot program of using LED readouts on top of sharing cabs is deemed a success, it does not address the issue of creating the most efficient rides, tailored to the individual's needs. It's still a game of chance. Cabcorner takes the guess work and therefore wasted time out of having to wait for the right kind of cab to come along to enjoy the financial benefits of splitting a cab. Additionally, accountability and pre-identifiability seems to be an issue that many commenters are bringing up. Our platform requires a profile (at least) and we have some way to create a sense of accountability by having users use working email accounts. In this respect, we allow those who are concerned about being confronted with a certain type of person, at the very least have a way to screen for some of the most obvious negatives for a picky person, such as our gender preference option and use of profile pictures as a way to assume some control over the pairing. I think it is a good thing, maybe even a great thing that the city is doing this." Check out our Founder’s thoughts on the subject:

OR what if i were an egg and there was no chick to share a cab with? With cabcorner's new service, i could potentially get in to a cab as an egg and get out as a chick, go figure.
