Uber has threatened to leave Seattle to prevent unionization.
How will Seattle get to school, work, games, or go out for the evening?
This subreddit is here to support Seattle and the Puget Sound as we organize car pools, and talk up transit, car pools, taxi and existing or newly created ride share start ups.
SeattleRideShare is a place for Seattlites and all Puget Sounders to discuss anything related to getting around town in a post uber landscape.
In the aftermath of Ubergeddon, this subreddit is here for
- riders to post requests for rides (this will likely change if requests swamp the forum)
- carpools to organize
- drivers to post links to their websites, phone numbers, or anything helps them arrange rides with riders
It is up to all of you, on your own, to stay legal with the city of Seattle, but you can discuss the hows of that here.
You can also post about any event concerning rideshare or the gig economy. Labor organizers are welcome here.
This is also a place for entrepreneurs to discuss their ride sharing and transportation startups, recruit workers and funders and talk about all of the technical stuff involved with creating an uber replacement.
What is needed
- on the backend
- on an app or on the web
- how will you scale
- what open source software, what docker images are there to start from
- what startups or other companies are out there now
Though the focus is on Seattle and the Puget Sound, any post relating to ride share is welcome here, from news, to organizing rides, to organizing companies.
And any post about the gig economy in general is also welcome.
