Waave - Fixed Fares for Taxis

Can’t even delete the profile. Five days since I asked them to delete it.

This app makes Uber and Lyft seem cheap, and that's saying something. I'm all for paying drivers fair wages, but if you really want to help traditional taxis then start with advocating against taxi medallion fees. They're so ridiculous and predatory to the drivers.

A taxi driver came to pick me up without knowing the app saying he is a friend of the other one who couldn’t come in time. Asked for cash and Istill got debited by the application. When I sent them a message they didn’t answer me and just deleted my account. I got a fraud report alert by the bank about this transaction after this

Was in Boston in beginning of July, used WAAVE for first time , recommended by a friend. WAAVE uses licensed cabdrivers, felt very official and safe. Driver was very knowledgeable and friendly, I’ll always use WAAVE when I’m Boston

I'm often checking the prices of both Waave and Uber/Lyft in NYC. And I can see that most of the time Waave is cheaper! Fantastic! I've been a advocate for Yellow taxis. They pay their fair share to be on the road and yet they're charged for the congestion surcharge! That's ridiculous. Yellow taxis are an important part of NYC and don't let these big corporations like Uber/Lyft take them away in the city. Yellow Taxi have been moving the city for so long and now we have a chance to pay them back. I'm an advocate for the them because a lot of them are hard working people who wants to provide for their family. I see these guys as part of the MTA, honestly. There's no surge pricing like from uber/lyft. That means you won't be paying those inflated prices to go to the airports or go home from an event. I really like the eco feature that Waave let's me select. Although I know most are already hybrids, it's nice to have an option. Whether you guys love Uber or not, they are not a good company and their drivers are constantly being hurt. I heard from a taxi driver that they only take 30 cents from each trip. Incredible that Waave does this for their driving force. No pun intended. We are paying for the service. If you're paying pennies than the drivers are getting pennies. Let's give these good companies a shot instead of feeding those companies that hurt their drivers more. Props to Waave for making a great opportunity for drivers to earn a decent living. GOOD LUCK TO WAAVE!!

Must have app for hailing a cab in nyc! Forget about waving your hands or lookinh for a can and trying to decipher which ones are empty... this app is like the under of taxis!!

I wanted this to work. I’ve been trying to get away from Uber. Instead this app reminded me of what I LIKE about Uber. I had almost forgotten that it is new and special to be able to push a button and have a car come. I had also almost forgotten how hard it is to get a cab even in dense parts of Brooklyn or Manhattan. I try to hail a cab with this thing and none of their lazy bones wants to take the ride. You stare at your phone for like 2 solid minutes then told, no luck. This gets old fast. On those same rides I got an Uber driver assigned within less than 15 seconds. So one star for making me feel good about using Uber.

I was in NY in May 2019, and I tried to use this app at least a dozen times during my five day visit. At all times, it told me that there were no drivers available. However, open, passenger free, yellow cabs with there lights on kept driving by all the time. I gave up on this app and flagged the cabs down myself. I think that in the future once the yellow cab companies and drivers know how to use the app technology that it will be a hit. Right now, I don’t think the NY yellow cab companies know how to use it. Perhaps, Waave needs to send someone over to train them.

Used it and it tried searching for awhile then said no drivers are available. The popular ride share apps or just hailing a cab is faster.

Tried many times to get a cab but never available
