Sharxi, Shared taxi pitch
Sharxi provides cheap taxi rides by means of sharing taxis on similar routes Sharxi algorithm allows for dynamic integration of similar taxi routes. The main requirement is that the routes don t differ by more than 15 by time from the optimal one for each passenger. Hence, we effectively decrease the taxi fare two times without any great deterioration in comfort. Sharxi receives taxi orders from users via Android, iOS app, processes them on the server, and then creates the merged order if sharing is possible. The key is in the dynamic route planning which allows for realtime automated ridesharing. The service is currently running from Moscow airports. We launched the service in May this year, and have transported over 500 passengers since then. The service was started with no initial funding, and all promotion was done through friends, social networks, and free publications in various media. We have reached stable stream of orders in August.
