Ridesharing platform RideConnect is set to shake up the ridesharing industry with a new feature launch which includes numerous exciting new features that improve the experience for both drivers and riders

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / June 3, 2020 / Ridesharing platform RideConnect‘s white label software platform is disrupting how ride sharing operates on a global level. RideConnect has developed software that enables drivers to create communities of customers so that they can have their own private rideshare businesses. This simple idea is disrupting the ridesharing business on a massive scale. This platform which has already received more than 20,000 downloads, was built to enable riders and drivers to avoid riding with unknown or unsafe individuals.

Drivers, riders, families, companies and even cities can use RideConnect to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce drunk driving, make money, do good deeds, and rideshare safely. RideConnect can be used beyond car transportation, the platform extends to buses, vans or any other vehicle. The only limit is one's imagination.

Existing app-based taxi companies have largely been centralized with the platforms acting as an intermediary between the riders and drivers. They run off one central dispatch system, and the drivers and riders are at the mercy of the company for background checks, pricing, rider, and driver availability.

Given the COVID-19 virus and the social distancing we all face, understanding who we are riding with could never be more important. RideConnect, amongst many other value added features, allows for riders to choose their drivers, schedule their rides beforehand, on a regular basis, and to schedule their rides with other riders that they know and trust.

As RideConnect's CEO and Founder Santosh Krishnan stated, 'The intent is to enable the rider to selectively allow drivers into their network so that the drivers meet certain minimum criteria.' The private network app gives riders the option to select criteria they need met in order to feel safe, giving them control of who picks them up. 'With these features, riders have the power to only get rides with trusted drivers and can even insist that these drivers pass certain background checks or produce certain evidence of their qualifications before they allow them into their private community.'

Given travelers and commuters all over the world's need to find safe, low cost alternatives to subway rides and mass transit, RideConnect's ability to allow for riders and drivers to negotiate their pricing is also a welcomed upgrade from current ride sharing options for weary travelers.

RideConnect is currently launching a series of new features to enable drivers and riders to have an even more efficient and fruitful ridesharing experience. These new features include:

Integration of Facebook contacts into the rideshare community

Sourcing of phone book contacts into the rideshare community

Use of channels to extend the rideshare to people outside of the private community

Ability to keep the quality of the rideshare community high by blocking users, thereby keeping them from sharing rides within the community

Ability to 'Snooze' scheduled rides

Indication of the cash fare for the ride

Negotiation and confirmation of rides within the app communicator

Promotion of drivers within the community

Scheduling of rides on behalf of customers

Ability to visually review the ride before making an offer
