 It's time for a decentralized alternative to Uber and Lyft, built on Nostr, with Bitcoin payments.

I see various companies trying to become competitors to the duopoly, but it's hard for them to gain traction because nobody has heard of them, and they're not in every market (In-Drive, Teleport, Y-Ride, Wridz, Empower, etc.) In my opinion, they need to join forces, so to speak, on an open protocol, and allow anyone using any of those apps to get a ride, without the 50%+ take-rate of #Uber and #Lyft. It can be cheaper for the passengers and still better pay for the drivers.
