OTW! (On The Way)
Owners: Mic Dolan and Patrick McMullen
Description
The purpose of this app is to provide the solution to those people’s problems with looking for a “long distance” ride. For example, “I am looking for a ride from Faribault, Minnesota to Rochester, New York, and the problem is that I am struggling to find one. I posted my status saying that I am looking for a ride, what leaves me questions are not knowing how much I’d have to pay for gas, the plans of the driver’s, just to name a few…” What if the app provides the kind of experiences for those people, drivers and ride-seekers, and they can connect.
The app will be the place where ride-seekers can find a ride, and the drivers can be accompanied if they’d like to. …show more content…
In 2009, with car traffic expected to grow another 60% (in miles traveled) by 2030.”
