Cab Plus Partners with RideCommand to Offer New Local Service

Tampa, Fla. – (Oct. 23, 2013) Cab Plus, a local upscale Tampa Bay taxi service has partnered with RideCommand to bring local riders a fast, easy and affordable way to book transportation. RideCommand’s innovative app offers riders the ability to request either an immediate pickup or scheduled ride.  This partnership now allows riders to book an “Economy Sedan” option for short or long rides at an affordable price point. This new functionality still meets all of the regulations under Hillsborough County’s Public Transportation Commission.

“People want a convenient way to book a car service that also gives them flexibility when it comes to choices – RideCommand provides that positive experience,” said Alan Stapleton, founder and CEO of RideCommand.  “Adding Cab Plus to our RideCommand app creates an innovative collaboration between a new technology and a local company with a proven track record in the market.  This means Tampa Bay riders will gain access to the latest technology for booking cars, but won’t have to sacrifice safety or other options like cost and vehicle choice.  It’s a win-win for everyone.”

Brook Negusei, owner and CEO of Cab Plus agrees. “RideCommand’s app is meeting a significant need in Tampa Bay.  Our partnership with RideCommand gives people the ability to connect with our affordable sedan service from their phones in a matter of seconds.  This functionality is valuable for both Tampa Bay locals and visiting tourists seeking reliable and affordable transportation alternatives.”

Negusei says RideCommand’s presence in Tampa Bay encourages a more open marketplace, giving riders even more options when booking a vehicle and allowing for friendly competition.

The RideCommand app is available on both iPhone and Android devices.
