Launching first in the Bay Area · rideonwayapp.com

Your ride, on your way — designed to cost less.

ROW is a rideshare built in California and launching first in the Bay Area. Every ROW fare is designed to come in below comparable Uber and Lyft fares on our own fare schedule, your receipt shows exactly what you paid in dollars, and events near you come with a ride attached. Two apps are on the way: ROW Rider to ride and ROW Driver to earn.

ROW Rider app · Coming soon

Ride for less, see every dollar

At launch, you will book in the ROW Rider app and get an upfront price before you confirm. No percentage math, no mystery fees — your receipt lists the trip fare, insurance, and other charges & deductibles in plain dollars.

Designed to cost less

ROW sets fares on its own Bay Area schedule with one goal: come in below comparable Uber and Lyft fares. That is a pricing target based on our schedule — not a live quote from them — and you always see the full price upfront before you confirm.

Receipts in dollars only

Trip fare, insurance, other charges & deductibles, and amount paid. Drivers see their payout the same way. Clear for riders, clear for drivers.

Safety on every trip

Verified drivers, live trip sharing, in-app emergency help, and insurance coverage maintained for every period of your ride.

Fare estimator

See what a ROW ride looks like

Move the sliders for a sample Bay Area trip. The estimate uses ROW's launch fare schedule for the Bay Area; your confirmed price in the app is the price you pay.

  • Upfront, always. The price shown before you book is your price — traffic doesn't change it.
  • Insurance included. Shown as its own line on every receipt, based on trip distance.
  • Tips go to your driver. All tips are paid to the driver, shown separately on your receipt.

22 minutes

Sample estimate from ROW's Bay Area launch fare schedule (base fare plus per-mile and per-minute rates, booking and insurance charges). Final upfront price is confirmed in the ROW Rider app before booking. Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their owners; ROW is not affiliated with them.

ROW Driver app · Coming soon

Drive on your schedule. Get paid in clear dollars.

ROW Driver, coming soon as its own app built only for driving. Go online when you want, see the full dollar payout for every trip before you accept, and get paid weekly (or instantly) to your bank.

  • See pay before you accept. Every trip offer shows your payout in dollars, plus pickup distance and destination area.
  • Simple earnings screen. Your payout, tips, bonuses, and any charges — line by line, in dollars.
  • California Prop 22 protections. Earnings guarantees, healthcare stipends for qualifying drivers, and occupational accident insurance as required by California law.
  • Event demand built in. Concerts, games, and festivals near you create ride demand you can plan around.

Where ROW is going

Bay Area first. California next. Then the U.S.

We’re launching tight and dense so pickup times stay short, then expanding cell by cell. ROW is a registered business with its EIN and business banking in place, building toward App Store and Google Play launch.

Phase 1 · Launch

San Francisco Bay Area

San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, and the SFO/OAK/SJC airport corridors. Rides plus events within 50 miles.

Phase 2 · Expand

California statewide

Sacramento, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Central Valley cities — under full California TNC and Prop 22 compliance.

Phase 3 · Grow

Nationwide

State-by-state rollout with local permitting, insurance, and driver onboarding in each new market.

Two apps, planned right

ROW Rider for booking rides and events and ROW Driver for earning — separate apps at launch, like riders and drivers expect, sharing one ROW platform. Today ROW runs as one combined app in testing; the split into two apps is the production plan.

AI, where it pays

Demand forecasting to position drivers before you need them, smarter matching to cut wait times, and personalized event picks — layered in after launch on real trip data.

Built to be ready

Business registration, EIN, and business banking are complete. Payments run through Stripe in the apps; this website never takes card payments.

Data security & storage

Built so this website stores nothing sensitive

rideonwayapp.com is a static marketing site — no accounts, no database, no checkout. Here is exactly what happens to your information here, and what never happens.

No storage on this site

This website has no server database and does not save form entries, browsing, or personal details. We do not use localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, or tracking cookies to remember you. Close the tab and nothing about your visit is kept here.

Contact by email only

The launch-list form opens your own email app (mailto:) — it never uploads to a ROW server. You review the message before sending and can delete it. The same address is listed everywhere: support@rideonwayapp.com.

Payments never touch this site

No card numbers, bank logins, passwords, SSNs, or government IDs should ever be entered here — and there is nowhere to enter them. At launch, payments and driver payouts run only inside the ROW apps through Stripe; cards are handled by Stripe, not stored by this website.

Secure delivery

Served over HTTPS. This page sends a content-security policy that limits where scripts, styles, and images can load from, plus a strict referrer policy, and it never asks for camera, microphone, location, or payment access. External fonts load from Google Fonts only.

Privacy-compliant analytics only

If analytics are enabled, they are first-party, anonymized, and aggregate-only (pages viewed, no cross-site tracking, no ad pixels, no sale/sharing of personal information). We honor Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control (GPC). You can block analytics in your browser without breaking the site.

Please don’t send sensitive data

Never email or submit passwords, full card numbers, bank credentials, SSNs, or scans of IDs to this site or the launch-list address. For account, safety, or privacy requests use privacy@rideonwayapp.com and we’ll direct you to a secure channel in the app.

Your California rights still apply: access, correct, delete, and limit use of sensitive personal information, and opt out of sale/sharing — see the in the Legal Center below. This website itself collects none of that data to begin with.
Help

Questions, answered

For anything else, email support@rideonwayapp.com — safety issues are answered 24/7.

How is ROW cheaper than Uber and Lyft?
ROW sets fares on its own Bay Area schedule, designed to come in below comparable Uber and Lyft fares. That is a target based on our schedule, not a live quote from Uber or Lyft, so we never label another company’s price as fact. You always see the full upfront price in the ROW Rider app before you confirm, and your receipt shows the trip fare, insurance, and other charges & deductibles in dollars.
What will my receipt show?
Trip fare, insurance (based on trip distance), other charges & deductibles (such as booking, tolls, airport or city charges, and any cancellation or cleaning charges that apply), tip if you add one, and your total amount paid. Drivers see their payout, tips, and bonuses in dollars the same way.
Will ROW Rider and ROW Driver be different apps?
Yes — that is the production plan. ROW Rider will be for booking rides and events; ROW Driver will be for earning, as separate App Store and Google Play listings sharing one ROW platform. ROW is currently in testing as a combined app, and the two-app split ships with the production launch.
How do events and reservations work?
In ROW Rider, browse events within 10, 25, or 50 miles, reserve your spot, and add a ride there and back at ROW fares. Cancellation windows are shown before you reserve. Organizers list events through the organizer portal; event and refund rules are in our Legal Center.
How and when do drivers get paid?
Weekly by direct deposit to your linked bank account, with instant payout available. Your earnings screen shows each trip’s payout in dollars before you accept it. California Prop 22 earnings guarantees and healthcare stipends apply as described in the Driver Terms.
Is ROW available in my city?
ROW launches first in the San Francisco Bay Area, then expands across California, then nationwide. Join the launch list below and we’ll email you when ROW opens near you.
How do I report a safety issue or lost item?
In either app, open Help on any trip to report a safety issue or a lost item, or email support@rideonwayapp.com. For emergencies, call 911 first, then let us know so we can help.
