The few ways this changes, every driver leaves Uber/Lyft and sign up with FURE.Cab. We can all keep complaining about this till nothing happens. And everyone who's reading this post, knows nothing going to change.

Riders ride free or pay less. Indie drivers get 90% of the fare. FullTime drivers get a salary.

We're hiring too.. [email protected] #fullstackdevelopers #projectmanagers #marketingninjas

Built FURE.Cab to rebuild an industry.

Watching YC grow over the years has changed (good and bad) everything we touch, see, hear and taste was bc of the 'YC effect'.. directly and indirectly. From myself 7x applicant to getting in YC SUS F19 to meeting /connecting with 100s of founders from around the world thru YC.

To me it's the best community in the world to share ideas, knowledge, make friends and collaborate. Rarely, a community this unique can sway a market in under a Twitter minute.

You if haven't applied, please do. not once but everytime you can. Your idea you have in your head right now, can change humanity's outcome.. maybe it's a cure for cancer or the next do-dad we'll buy at Target. Just apply and see what happens..

Yeah it's disheartening to get that email, the same one I got 7 times. But understand, they're watching each of us to who tweet out our ideas, our dreams.. You'll never know who'll email you out of the blue to apply (I've heard a few stories Abt this).

Here's what I'm doing to change #rideshare for the better.

Hello Hacker News! We’re Rudy & Roby we are the founders of FURE (https://fure.cab/). We are full-stack rideshare advertising agency that provides real-time data on free rides, for feedback on ads shown while enroute. A new solution for advertisers to analyze live feedback of ads from 10 riders to 1 billion riders in 10 seconds.

Since its inception, the rideshare industry has become a problem for two primary groups. First, the security one of its primary stakeholder – the rider. The rider at all financial levels has become a victim of surge pricing, in-cab assaults, long waits, and the lack of standardized protection for the community. Second is the welfare of the human capital involved– the driver. The driver became a number, to the cost of being assaulted by a rider, to market fuel costs and the cost of not having benefits to service by choice, or voice.

Today, people and media are constantly talking about the problems facing our industry. We believe the industry wasn’t built for the way it stands now, and the public will move to the best available option. And what we’re building is a new future of rideshare without the drama and complexities of the old. But build on new systems and services that benefits the public in ways that’s long term for every community to provide for its families and neighbors. A better future so we can move more, travel there, and be here.

The idea is simple, give the riders the options like to - pay or ride fure, identify their ride, and access to security. The same idea is applied to our drivers, give them the options to choose their status, their benefits, and their right to provide for their families. These aren’t just ideas but the fabric of who we are, our culture to support you, us, and everyone to create their futures. So, we built the features and benefits that helps both riders and drivers move them along the way.

Features born out of necessity. Identification - CABeacon™ | Our dashboard display riders and the public can clearly see in any weather; have it wave to you by remote control or track & match the PIN code in a sea of cars. (Industry 1st)

Security - CABvue™ | Our eyes on the road and in the cab, to help keep the peace and entertain your friends while you’re getting there. (Industry 1st)

Benefits born out of necessity. -Compensation - Cash or Crypto -Indie or Employee | Take home 90% or 80% of the fare or get paid based on your vehicle. -Opt In or Out – Health, Insurance, and Maintenance Plans __

How our toy works Just like any other rideshare user experience, pick a pickup and drop off, select a payment – fure ride or pay, picked fure ride, watch your chariot arrive, confirm and id each other, buckle up, and watch a few ads and answer the questions at the end of each one, once the ride is over, exit, leave a comment or tip and that’s it or try again. Note: If it didn’t work the second time, the third time is a charm.

Want to make toys Building the future is something you want to do, we’re here ready with a mission from home or from a remote office or here at HQ. Apply when you’re ready, we are. [email protected]

How we got here Cyan Banister put out a tweet to Reno, we took a massive chance to fly during a pandemic, meet her and pitch, and landed an offer from her on the spot. __

Hi icechai,

Our BC platform "VINBlock" is designed to keep the public informed of the "vehicle services" performed on the vehicle itself. e.g.: Carfax but alot simpler, factual, and free. CF isn't 100% factual, it doesn't tell you if the oil/brakes/tires are OEM or AfterMarket, or the front fender is OEM/new/used, or the registration type is "new, used, salvage".

Our platform brings out alot of problems consumers face when buying a car/truck on face value, by providing that information to you free but importantly as fact.

Idea is to bring value back into an asset that loses value over a period of time, but also educating the public on the car there going to purchase either from it's born date to the day it's sitting on a dealership lot.

There are other features on our BC platform where launching, e.g: payments, insurance policies, maintenance, dmv services, etc..

Re:YC W17 Invites/Rejections on Saturday October 29, 2016 @06:02PM (#12826662)
Boks Kar didn't get selected either for W17, we found out by looking the status on our application page.

The cool part is we look forward in taking our company to the next level. There is a ton of stories of founders moving forward without YC, and sometimes you don't need an accelerator to make your dream come true. It's the dream itself that's powers you to make it come true. It would have been great to meet the YC team and learn from them. But after with much thought, it makes sense to move forward and become a market leader to tip my hat to YC.

If you're interested to work for company that's going to change how we own cars - drop your [email protected]

Power on and take your dream to the next level. I'm 404.

Thanks, Rudy Ferraz BoksKar.com
