LibreTaxi2 - The Craigslist of Uber/Lyft

LibreTaxi2 is an open source and free alternative to Uber and Lyft that cuts out the third party between passengers and drivers. Its dubbed the Craigslist of Uber and Lyft as prices are negotiable and cash is preferred, although, there are plans to fully integrate bitcoin as a method of payment.

So how does this "CraigsLyft" actually work? The concept is rather simple, you send a message from your Telegram messenger to a bot requesting a ride, your request is blasted to drivers in the vicinity, a driver reaches out to you on Telegram, you finalize the trip details, and your on your way! How simple is that?

If you would like to experience it yourself LibreTaxi has set up a demo bot channel where you can test requesting or offering a ride:
