Our Team
New York City DriversCo-Founders
Hundreds and now thousands of NYC drivers came together to launch Co-op Ride, a driver-owned ridehailing platform. Before the pandemic, drivers provided 700K+ trips per day for our fellow New Yorkers. We're excited to do it now on a platform we own.
This idea came from a group of drivers coming together and asking "Why don't we have our own app?" From there, a group of drivers, labor organizers, and tech worker allies have come together to realize the dream of drivers having their own platform.
