gobyRIDE vs UPool Rides

gobyRIDE’s ground-breaking technology sets the stage to let every driver currently travelling alone fill their empty seats! gobyRIDE is a true rideshare app where passengers are easily and securely connected with drivers going their way! gobyRIDE offers drivers the platform to post their trip for passengers to book instantly. Unique to gobyRIDE, the platform also lets passengers post a ride request so drivers can also search for passengers directly. Unlike Uber or Lyft which are private taxis, gobyRIDE intuitively connects drivers and potential passengers who wish to share the same route. Once a ride request or ride offer is confirmed, the trip is booked and confirmed gobyRIDE processes the payment from the passenger to the driver automatically. Both driver and passengers are encouraged to rate the trip after completion. gobyRIDE features include in-app payments, real-time in-app communications to protect privacy and dynamic LiveMap™ mapping. LiveMap™ lets both the driver and passenger view or share the trip with friends, in real time. It provides that extra peace of mind and lets others know that you’re on your way! Best of all, gobyRIDE rewards drivers and passengers with points for participation, actions and sharing. Whether it’s posting a trip request, completing a trip, rating drivers or social medial sharing, the gobyRIDE platform delivers truly rewarding ridesharing.
