ShareMyTaxi is a real-time cab sharing application. It is a practical solution for transportation in urban areas.
User Scenario Its 8:15am and I'm running late for work. I'm at 14th/1st on a February morning that is too cold to wait for the bus anyway - I need to catch a cab. I take out my phone, SMS ShareMyTaxi with my current cross-street and where I need to go and I immediately get an SMS back with a phone number of another person nearby that needs to make a similar trip. I call the number. It was a woman standing on the North corner who just hailed a cab. I dash across the street and end up sharing the cab with two people who work in my building and it only cost me $4! Today is a beautiful day.
