CabAmigo App

CabAmigo is a platform for users to share their cabs while travelling to the same destination (airport, concerts, railway stations) in similar time frame. Since the events are pre-planned, it enables users to choose their co-passengers based on their social networking profiles. Users not only save money, they meet like-minded people on the go. This enables one to feel more secure about the travel and one can screen co-passengers based on common interests. Cabamigo recommends signing up with Facebook so that more details about a person is available. However for people who are not comfortable sharing their email and phone no, option of hiding details is provided. These users can provide the information to the selected few, who are travelling at the same time and wish to share a cab. Airport, concerts and station are chosen to reduce peak hour traffic. We have noticed that 2 hours before a concert there is massive traffic jam due to number of vehicles with one or two passengers in most cars. The benefit of carpool will be most visible to people when their immediate problem is resolved. They intend to make carpooling a culture and believe this is the best segment to target for people as to reduce resistance for change.
Apart from pre-planned destination, we have integrated the feature of carpool-now also for users who wish to use the service on the go. This service is very useful while you are coming back from airport. We have seen that people take individual cabs, even though most of them are going to the same destinations. The issue is the lack of platform to connect these people. Cabamigo wishes to close this bridge, and make travel more economical for its users and at the time reduce traffic congestion in the city.

Happy carpooling amigos :)
