RYDO vs Traditional Taxis: What's Actually Different

It's a fair question: what does an app like RYDO actually give you that flagging down a taxi doesn't?

| | Traditional taxi | RYDO | |---|---|---| | Price | Meter or haggling on the spot | You set the price upfront | | Driver info | Unknown until you're in the car | Name, photo, rating before you accept | | Tracking | None | Live GPS tracking, shareable with others | | Payment | Cash only, usually | Cash or digital | | Ratings | None | Both riders and drivers rate each other | | Driver choice | None — whoever stops | You choose from multiple offers |

The biggest shift is information before you commit. With a street-hailed taxi, you don't know who's driving, what they'll charge, or what other riders thought of them. With RYDO, you know all three before you ever get in the car.
