Zimride Brings Ride Sharing To New York And Washington D.C.

Zimride, a San Francisco-based startup that helps commuters share rides, is bringing itself to the East Coast with a new route between New York and Washington D.C. With an already popular route between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this will add another one on the other side of the country. The average passenger from New York to Washington D.C. should pay about $25 for a seat, and the average Zimride driver should make $150 if they sell three seats. The geographic expansion caps off a pretty hectic spring for the company. The company just added a third leg of its business in on-demand, mobile ride-sharing. Called Lyft, the product resembles Uber's model except that it uses regular people who bring their own cars. Zimride, of course, vets drivers for their driving history, criminal records, auto safety and so on. They add some personal touches too with a fist-bump for every passenger and pink moustaches on the cars.
