CabCorner – share the ride, share the fare

Posted on 7 May, 2010,

Share the ride, split the fare and save the environment – with this motto, CabCorner will become the most interactive online cab sharing platform where you can afford travelling in a cab for the cost that you pay for a public transportation. The website is set to launch on May 31, 2010 followed by an iPhone application which will make it available on the move as well.

This will be yet another proud moment for our expert web development team at Galaxy Weblinks who has worked round the clock in last 10 weeks to pull this through. CabCorner will surely be one of the best custom web application that we have built in last 10 years. We are so very thankful to the founders of this great startup, Jonathan McKinney and Jesse Sommer, to give us an opportunity to partner up with them in this venture.

CabCorner aims to cut travel cost for cab riders by helping them find other riders who are also heading to the same direction. At the same time Cabcorner will also help the cab industry grow as much more passengers will join and travel more distances. A simple 3 step process will allow riders to find their companion. You start with entering your departure and destination address and CabCorner will show you all the other rides that are departing from it’s vicinity. Not only that, it also shows you the exact fare that each rider ride has to pay. If you don’t find any other ride, you can post your own and wait till someone else finds you. You will also be able to share your ride on Twitter and Facebook so that your local friends can also join your ride . Integration with Google maps makes the applicaiton more interactive because now user can see the best route that their cab will take.

While our programmers did an excellent job in converting this idea into reality on Internet, our iPhone application developers left no stone unturned in doing a terrific job with the mobile version of this platform for iPhone users who will be able to download it from the Apple store for no fees.

We will be pleased to hear your comments & feedback about this cab sharing platform so don’t hesitate to leave a message or send us an email.

“For every one billion particles of antimatter there were one billion and one particles of matter. And when the mutual annihilation was complete, one billionth remained – and that’s our present universe.” – Albert Einstein.

And yet, we are not just living in it, but we are also filling it with our colors, understanding it with our sciences and polluting it with our resources. In another school of thought, this small insignificant universe has still let us achieve so much through experimentation, innovation and introspection. Every bit of
