Cheaper Rides: affordable, community‑powered transportation across the DFW Metroplex. See your price before you book, always lower than the big rideshare apps, then we match you with the nearest driver. No surge, no guessing. Our mission. C Lee Transportation began in 2015 in Southern Dallas with one goal: bridging the gap between residents and the livable‑wage jobs, doctors, groceries, and resources that public transit could not reach. We started carrying workers from the Ledbetter station to jobs across the region, and we have been connecting our community to what it needs ever since. Ride free when you're sponsored. Churches, employers, sororities and fraternities, and community organizations can cover their members' rides, so eligible riders travel at no cost. Seniors and verified members get sponsored rides with extra care built in. Everyday transportation you can count on. Get to work, dialysis and doctor visits, the grocery store, church, and your favorite restaurants all across Dallas and Fort Worth. Wheelchair‑accessible rides are available. Local drivers who earn more. We pay our drivers more per hour than the big apps and keep more of every dollar in the community, so you get better service at a lower price. From warehouse workers to doctors, students to seniors, everyone rides with Cheaper Rides. Lower fares, better‑paid drivers, your whole Metroplex. Run a church, business, or organization? Sponsor rides for your members. Reach out in the app to get started.
