He's warming up the crowd for his new FOSS taxi service (wait for it): GNUber

Yes, it is part of the first batch of the FSF's new initiative to provide seed funding for free software startups called YNotCombinator.

You'll need to use Emacs and PGP to encrypt your coordinates and then post the message on blockchain. It's free, doesn't require a non-free device and everyone can see the transaction history!

It would be nice to have a ride sharing ecosystem that didn't take 30%. I'd use it.

Juno takes only 10% I believe. It's a worker cooperative where longtime drivers are given shares

Haven't heard of Juno before. I found what seems to be their site: https://www.gojuno.com but there's very, very little info.

What's their deal? Are they just getting started?

Public transit?

ape4 · on Nov 12, 2016

Hey I do use that;) But actually I was talking about a peer-to-peer ride selling and ride wanting matching system that cuts out the middle man. I use Uber but I cann't help but think the drivers should get a larger share of the fare.

They take 30% and still loose money. How can you do better?
