Its 8:22pm, Tuesday, Feb 11th 2014.
Just got home and rushed to open my Mac to share (document) an open source idea I once had
when i didn't own a car in lagos and was tired of giving metro taxi so much money. This app is presumably for those who do not bus or like that sort of transportation.
Code Name :
'RidingWithMike'
What If : What if there was an app that I used to plan my next day's trip(s) ahead of time. Even the week's journey. I knew pretty well what my Sunday to Sunday looked like.. where I needed to be all week.
Then What: This app (solution) then matches me with my friends using the app and have their pre-planned trip(s) saved for the week. The friend who has no car (or simply chose not to drive) could tag along free or at least purchase free fuel for the other friend.
If my other friend whose pre-planned journey matched mine but had no car. We both then have to share a cab and split the fee.
Then What Else: How to encourage anti-app folks to use this;
-
Rewards: Friends who enjoy a free ride can 'praise' friends. When a certain number of praise is collected. Such friend can redeem a fuel voucher card with an amount e.g (N4000 fuel) or meal voucher. Friend free to choose voucher.
- Grant Access to cab companies or registered taxi drivers to see people who have pre-planned their journey; these drivers can bid to get the passengers.
This is were the idea ends for now.
As always Punch Holes.
