For close to two years, CabCorner’s pitched itself primarily as a “cab-sharing” platform.  Yet the ever-elusive “critical mass”–which refers to the level of usage by people in the same area headed the same direction around the same time–proved as difficult for us to capture as it had to our competitors.  (Rest in peace, RidePenguin….)
