Show HN: FURE – Free Rideshare
Hello Hacker News! We’re Rudy & Roby we are the founders of FURE (https://fure.cab/). We are full-stack rideshare advertising agency that provides real-time data on free rides, for feedback on ads shown while enroute. A new solution for advertisers to analyze live feedback of ads from 10 riders to 1 billion riders in 10 seconds.
Since its inception, the rideshare industry has become a problem for two primary groups. First, the security one of its primary stakeholder – the rider. The rider at all financial levels has become a victim of surge pricing, in-cab assaults, long waits, and the lack of standardized protection for the community. Second is the welfare of the human capital involved– the driver. The driver became a number, to the cost of being assaulted by a rider, to market fuel costs and the cost of not having benefits to service by choice, or voice.

Today, people and media are constantly talking about the problems facing our industry. We believe the industry wasn’t built for the way it stands now, and the public will move to the best available option. And what we’re building is a new future of rideshare without the drama and complexities of the old. But build on new systems and services that benefits the public in ways that’s long term for every community to provide for its families and neighbors. A better future so we can move more, travel there, and be here.

The idea is simple, give the riders the options like to - pay or ride fure, identify their ride, and access to security. The same idea is applied to our drivers, give them the options to choose their status, their benefits, and their right to provide for their families. These aren’t just ideas but the fabric of who we are, our culture to support you, us, and everyone to create their futures. So, we built the features and benefits that helps both riders and drivers move them along the way.

How our toy works Just like any other rideshare user experience, pick a pickup and drop off, select a payment – fure ride or pay, picked fure ride, watch your chariot arrive, confirm and id each other, buckle up, and watch a few ads and answer the questions at the end of each one, once the ride is over, exit, leave a comment or tip and that’s it or try again. Note: If it didn’t work the second time, the third time is a charm.
