Your code opens straight away for your rider to scan. - Riders: scan your driver's code from the same card when you get in. - Reminders before pickup now remind drivers to start the trip. - Requests waiting on you show first, and open right where you answer them. - Fewer false "not recording" alerts during and after a ride. - Ride counts on profiles show real completed rides. - Editing your car saves again. - Forms no longer get cut off at the edges. - A clearer way to turn on notifications, so you hear when your ride moves. - Review requests always open the request itself. - Smaller fixes throughout.

Best app for student rides!

Honestly one of the best apps I’ve found as a student. A trip to SF can cost me $40+ on Amtrak and an Uber can easily be $150+, but I’ve found rides on Tago for under $25. I also like that I can check the driver’s student profile and ratings before requesting a ride, which makes me feel way more comfortable. Super useful for students trying to travel to any place where you won’t be able to reach using public transit.

App Review

This is such a great app, I regularly save $10-12 on my trips to San Francisco compared to Amtrak. The safety features are great comparable to any ride share app.

Very user friendly

I’ve had a really good experience using Tago so far. The app is simple, clean, and easy to navigate, and everything feels pretty straightforward without being confusing. It’s been useful for what I need and I like that the interface doesn’t feel overly complicated. The app also runs smoothly for me and overall feels well designed. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something convenient and easy to use.

Affordability and convenience

Have been looking for a platform like this myself and I am glad Davis has Tago now. I spent $150 for an uber always when I go from Davis to SFO. On my recent trip I booked a Tago ride and I paid just $23. It is the most affordable, convenient and a trustworthy app for students.
