Yellow cabs are iconic around the world. They are most well known in New York City, but they are used all around the U.S. and the world. The taxi has recently been out of fashion due to the rise of ridesharing platforms, but the yellow taxi may be making a comeback.
RideYellow is an app helping taxis compete in the rideshare industry without being a part of the rideshare industry. RideYellow brings the modern app platform to the traditional taxi mode of transportation. It does not have all the same functions of a multi-billion dollar tech company, but it has everything you need to hail a traditional taxi without a single problem.
How does RideYellow Work?
RideYellow allows you to hail traditional taxis, but they also have their own fleet of taxis running to make sure everyone gets where they need to go. RideYellow allows people to hail a taxi in the app, on the street, by telephone, or online through their website. You have a flexibility in taxi hailing that was pretty much nonexistent before. Paying has never been simpler, you simply pay through the app whether you hailed a taxi through RideYellow or you hailed one the traditional way, just sync the app to the cab. There is no cash involved, and you don’t have to wait at the end of the ride to pay. You’re good to go because you paid through the app.
Fares for RideYellow are what they would be if you were to hail a cab. Pricing is set by the local government. The app does not feature surge pricing like other rideshare services.
RideYellow is currently available in Los Angeles, Orange County, Long Beach, San Diego County, Tampa, Tallahassee, Fort Lauderdale, Panama City, Panama Beach, and Washington D.C.
If you’re interested in trying RideYellow for yourself and you’re located in the Long Beach Area, South Bay Area, Los Angeles Area, and Orange County Areas, you can use the promo code: GURU to get a percentage off your next ride!
