Company Description
Dollaride offers a new twist on an old transportation model to ensure that marginalized, outer-city communities have a faster, more convenient commute. We make public transit available to anyone, anywhere by delivering superior transportation starting at only $2 a ride. We do this by merging our technology with the informal network of local commuter van drivers (ie "dollar vans") to meet the growing demand for mobility solutions in transit deserts. Drivers trust Dollaride because our product helps them grow their business by accepting digital payments and expanding to new territory.
