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.
But whereas CabCorner began operations in the [...]

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.
We came across Avego [...]

Who would have believed that about a year before McKinney decided to breathe life into his dream, Scott Adams had already exhaled the concept in a blog post?
Yes, the creator of Dilbert envisioned a world where empty backseat real estate was a thing of the past.  Read his musings by clicking the links below.

Friends and Fans:
It’s been an exhausting couple weeks.  Varun finished the Phase 2 Beta development tasks and we’re reviewing the site for a few final flaws, but the platform is essentially stable.  We’ve been receiving some GREAT user feedback on the site AND on the iPhone application.

The importance of the ‘me’ factor in building a team is possibly the single most important element of a successful enterprise. Cabcorner LLC is an enterprise built on the foundation [...]

Our boy Fazal was the first to tell us about CabSense, a venture sponsored by NYC’s Taxi & Limousine Commission, which pledges to analyze “tens of millions of GPS data points from NYC taxis to help you find the best corner to catch a cab.”

Indeed, we were intrigued.  Not only was the service somewhat [...]

The media, much like your average shark, just absolutely loves blood.  And I fault neither predator for their preference.  Yet it is important to contextualize the reports concerning the first day of the TLC’s new “cab share” program.
The New York Times noted that few people took advantage of the service on its inaugural day.  DNA [...]

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.
