The Fine Line Between Ridesharing and Taxi Cabs

Avego charges riders $.20 per mile per seat, and pays that amount to the drivers. This is a nominal fee compared to the other services. Steinberg stated that he has no opinion on whether the ridesharing services such as SideCar are unregulated taxi cabs, but he did state he’s quite certain they are not rideshares, because rideshares aren’t operated for a profit.

Is Ridesharing Legal? Yes, if it’s Ridesharing! - The Avego Blog

There’s been some confusion in the market recently as a number of apps for hailing taxicab-like services have been making news as they are being prosecuted for violation of local and state laws on commercial transport services. So, what is the difference between these companies and Avego? Why does Avego come under the new definition of ridesharing, and these companies do not?

WeGo Sonoma saved the day!

Here’s a little story from a new user who ended up setting a record for the WeGo Sonoma community when he took his first ride with 4 other people. Fantastic — experiences like these make us smile!

__

I know that this is supposed to be a kind of social network for people trying to share rides along their commute, but as a regular bus rider, my need for WeGo and the Avego app are more circumstantial, more in response to an emergency. Such was the case the other day. I was supposed to make it to Rohnert Park from my home in North Santa Rosa in time to, of all things, take my car to the dealership for a check-up and missed the bus.

I checked the Avego app and there was a ride going there, but not until a half-hour too late. I sent a message, asking if the ride could be moved up a bit and after some back and forth we reached an agreement. I rode with four others in the car and arrived safely at my destination, and made my appointment on time. WeGo Sonoma saved the day for me!

The Greener Way to Get There

“Because per-passenger carbon emissions decline as the number of passengers rises, it definitely pays to carpool. A driver in a car alone assumes all of the vehicle’s emissions, but if a spouse, friend, or whole family tags along, it can dramatically reduce the per-passenger footprint.”
