Questions. Answered straight.
What drivers ask us.
No corporate speak. No deflection. Real answers from the founding team.
The
Basics
Because founding member spots are limited by region. When we launch, the drivers who signed up first get the best terms - and that's locked in. The waitlist is free. We're building without an app on purpose: no install means zero visibility to any platform you currently work for.
It means you're one of the first 5,000 drivers who claimed a spot before RIDE launched. Founding members lock in 85% of every fare, flat - that number is locked in your terms. That's not a launch promotion: it's your terms as someone who helped build the network before it had riders.
Yes. Holding your spot costs nothing. No credit card. No commitment. You'll be first to know when RIDE launches in your region.
You lock in 85% of every fare, permanently - flat, the same for every driver. You get a voice in how RIDE is run in your region. And you hear everything first as the network grows. Holding your spot is free, and staying a Founding Member is free.
The
Cooperative
You're a Founding Member, not just a number. RIDE is built with drivers, not at them. You have a voice, you're heard, and you're not at the mercy of an algorithm. That's the difference.
You keep 85% of every fare - flat, the same for every driver, with nothing deducted from it. We capped our platform share at 15%. Your own cost of driving - gas, maintenance, personal insurance, and taxes - is yours, the same as it is on any platform. No rideshare model anywhere covers those. What's different with RIDE is what happens to the other 85%: it's yours, every time, with no tiers and no fine print.
The Hard
Questions
TDC proved drivers want this. It reached millions in revenue before it ran out of runway, and we learned from exactly why. The difference: we build the network first, then find drivers before a single ride, line up real service revenue, and only launch when the funding's there to go the distance. We launch from strength, not hope.
Signing up for a free waitlist is not a terms violation. Your account is yours. And we're keeping this quiet on purpose: no app, no stickers, no visible footprint at this stage. Zero exposure until you're ready to move.
We know. The cooperative structure exists precisely because verbal promises aren't enough. That's why this is built differently, and why we'll show you exactly how it works before you commit.
Logistics
We launch region by region, starting where founding member numbers are strongest. The more drivers in your region who hold a spot, the faster that region moves to launch. We're tracking sign-up density in real time. Your position in the queue is real. We publish that progress as it happens.
Every driver counts. A weekend driver in your region is one more name on the list that gets us to launch faster.
You'll get confirmation, then periodic updates as your city builds toward launch. No spam. You control your preferences.
