It all began one sunny afternoon while dropping someone at LGA airport. Someone tapped on my car window as I was about to leave, and asked me how I was doing and if I would listen to something this friendly taxi driver had to say. Willingly I did listen, and we both empathized that something had to be done after exposing the difficulties to make a decent living, because prices were lowered and Oh boy, 2 years down the line here we are talking to you about us Better Ride. We are a socially responsible company with a vision to transform the community of drivers lives worldwide for the better. This is literally our passion, it is in our DNA in our core values, we live and breathe it, and we sincerely embark and focus on bringing a radical solution emphasizing for the good of mankind. Surely you must be asking yourself what for, what was the problem?

You probably didn ́t know this but drivers cannot make ends meet because literally they just cannot make it! The problem is high commissions and how drivers can no longer stay in business due to lots of factors such as high operating cost, but mainly the inability to make enough to support their families. Additionally, lower ride cost inherited through the price cuts forced onto them leaves only a few options. These options presented to them, is to either accept or quit, continuing the suffering and harsh conditions to work under. Workers can’t walk away from these conditions because of prior commitments needed to sustain themselves and their families.

Better Ride aims to be the premier On Demand platform for “the new socially responsible way to ride” where drivers keep all they make because we take zero from what they make. But, you must be asking or saying to yourself, what is in it for me? What can I do? Well first we say to you NEVER pay a surge EVER again, you will ride in affordable luxury, and we know for sure 100%, that this is an economic transformation.
