CabCorner.com

CabCorner.com is a web-based, mobile-accessible “social transportation logistics utility” designed to connect individuals located in the same area who are headed the same direction around the same time. It REDUCES travel costs, street traffic, subway congestion, and urban pollution. CabCorner enables taxi travel to a new demographic that previously couldn’t afford it. By leveraging cities’ private taxi networks, CabCorner creates a new form of public transit, and drives more business to cabbies. Currently operating in NYC, CabCorner is accessible worldwide. And it’s also entirely FREE to use! Ranked #1 on Google, we’re also highly promoted by media outlets in print, online, and broadcast outlets. HOW CABCORNER WORKS- After registering for an account, a CabCorner user enters both her current location (or desired departure address) and her destination address, as well as her desired departure date and time. If a “Ride” meeting those criteria has already been posted, the user can opt to join it; if not, the user can post her own Ride and wait for a “cab companion” to join it. For security purposes, the system automatically translates a user’s specific starting address input into the nearest street intersection, i.e., the nearest “cab corner”; it is here that cab companions meet to either hail or call a taxi. CabCorner is simple- CabCorner.com connects people located in the same general area who are headed the same direction around the same time. "Cab-sharing" lets you split the fare, thus accommodating a more affordable transportation option than solo taxi travel, and a more comfortable option than mass transit alternatives! CabCorner's most popular feature is the "Fare Calculator," which lets you forecast the cost of both solo and shared taxi rides. CabCorner also boasts a comprehensive listing of local livery cab companies, to ensure that a nearby taxi is just a phone call away. Going out for the evening but don’t want to spend a fortune getting home? Our new application will help split that cab fare home. Looking to meet people in a new and interesting way? Try sharing a cab with a stranger. Is your commute boring? Would you like to save some money for lunch? Try splitting your morning cab ride with a stranger, she may turn out to be your next door neighbor. Is your after work commute getting a little too predictable? CabCorner can not only set you up with a ride companion, we can also suggest a nearby meeting point, known as a Hot Spot, where you and your companion will be able to take advantage of a deal being offered by a local retailer. For example, two for one drinks at Mo's bar, exclusively offered to CabCorner matched riders. The application can also connect to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, so you can reach out to your personal communities when posting or joining a ride! Let your friends know, get them involved, save some dough and have a good time!
