Ridehailing gap solutions

Create alternative transport solutions for markets abandoned by major platforms. Serve drivers and riders needing reliable alternatives.

Why now

When large platforms exit markets suddenly, they leave behind infrastructure gaps for local entrepreneurs to fill.

Who for
Urban commuters, taxi operators
Business model
Transaction fees
Effort
A few months

Cities losing major ridehailing services face immediate transportation shortages affecting both passengers and drivers.

Build localized solutions - whether dispatch software for existing taxis, driver co-ops, or alternative apps leveraging available vehicles.

Revenue could come from commissions, driver subscriptions, or municipal partnerships looking to fill gaps.

MVP might be a WhatsApp/SMS-based dispatch system for existing operators.

Major risk is scaling in markets with infrastructure challenges.
