It's SIMPLE! WRYD (ride) is here to make getting a ride easier in smaller volume areas. We've all been to the larger metroplexes and can hail a ride using a ride share app easily. Unlike those apps we only use local transportation companies that you're already using and we update them with mobile options you're used to.
