## What is USA Times Car App?

USA Times Car is the in-vehicle driver companion app for USA Times, a Manhattan-only black-car service.

This app is designed for USA Times drivers operating company-owned vehicles. A USA Times manager PIN is required to pair the iPhone to a vehicle on first launch; without it the app cannot be used. If you are a driver seeking access, please contact USA Times directly.

For drivers, the app provides:

— Shift management with PIN sign-in and closing-odometer end-of-shift
— Today's roster of dispatched trips assigned to you
— Joyride broadcast offers — first driver to accept gets the ride
— Live trip status updates (enroute → arrived → on trip → completed)
— Background location pings so dispatch and the rider see your car move
— Apple Maps integration for pickup and dropoff navigation
— Rider contact info (name, phone, photo) per the relationship-driven service model
— Manager-led device pairing — the iPhone belongs to the car, not the driver

The interface uses oversized tap targets and high-contrast typography designed for in-vehicle use in sunlight or at night. The app auto-switches to a dark theme by time of day. Each driver may choose English or Spanish from the in-app Account screen; the entire app reflows in their preferred language and the choice follows them across vehicles.

USA Times Car is purpose-built for company-owned fleet iPhones and is not intended as a personal-device app or for general public use.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.002 — 2026-07-13

Driver rewards are here: see your MiniGeuse balance and its estimated cash value on your Account screen, in the same format as the rider app. Plus reliability improvements to trips, shifts, and notifications.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-27

What's new in this update:

• Start a trip from the car app — drivers can start a trip and add a quick note. The car shows as busy until the trip ends, and the trip appears for dispatch.

• "I've arrived" now works when you're near the pickup OR near the rider, and once you reach the pickup it stays available — so forgetting to tap it no longer greys it out.

• Live trip map now shows the rider's location alongside your car.

• Your USA Times member ID and your car's upcoming reservations now show on the shift screen.

• The app version now appears on the shift screen.

• Reliability and notification improvements.

### 1.1.0002 — 2026-06-27

What's new in this update:

• Start a trip from the car app — drivers can start a trip and add a quick note. The car shows as busy until the trip ends, and the trip (with its note) appears for dispatch.

• "I've arrived" now works when you're near the pickup OR near the rider. And once you reach the pickup it stays available — so forgetting to tap it at the curb no longer leaves the button greyed out.

• Live trip map now shows the rider's location alongside your car, moving together toward the destination.

• Your USA Times member ID now shows on the shift screen.

• Upcoming reservations for your car now appear on the shift screen.

• Reliability and map improvements.
