<article> <section class="page"> <p> Uber competitors, this is your time to shine. The popular ride-sharing app is at the center of a media firestorm (http://www.macworld.com/article/2848628/why-you-should-delete-uber-and-what-to-use-instead.html) this week, and customers who care about things like media firestorms are threatening to #DeleteUber. (Yes, there’s a hashtag.) Thankfully there are a handful of other apps to turn to when you need a ride: Flywheel (https://www.flywheel.com/) is positioning itself as the anti-Uber with a new CEO and a fresh round of funding in the bank.</p><p> Flywheel is an app that works exactly the same way Uber does: Open the app, request a ride, and watch your driver’s icon inch closer to your destination. You store your credit card information and preselect a tip amount so no cash changes hands. The key difference: Flywheel works with cab fleets, so the driver who picks you up is licensed and regulated by the local taxi authority.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2849646/flywheel-stakes-its-claim-as-the-anti-uber-as-it-plans-to-expand.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Flywheel stakes its claim as the ‘anti-Uber’ as it plans to expand (http://www.macworld.com/article/2849646/flywheel-stakes-its-claim-as-the-anti-uber-as-it-plans-to-expand.html#tk.rss_all) |
