One black entrepreneur is throwing his hat into the multi-billion dollar ride-sharing app ring. #Moovn, which first launched in #Seattle in 2015, allows users to schedule rides up to a month in advance from either their phone or computer and guarantees no surge pricing. The app, created by #GodwinGabriel, currently operates in seven cities in the United States, including New York City, Atlanta and San Fransisco. It’s also available in select cities in sub-Saharan Africa. Users also have the option to choose from local vehicle options ― like bikes ― available, especially in developing countries. Gabriel, who is a self-taught coder and developer, told Urban Geekz that Moovn is different from other ride-sharing apps already on the market because it aims to take the industry to cities bigger companies have overlooked. The app is already available in Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya and Gabriel’s hometown of Dar-es-salaam, Tanzania. #Uber and #Lyft, which are absent in some African countries altogether, may not be properly serving women and customers of color in the States, a recent study revealed. In October, the National Bureau of Economic Research found that drivers of both companies treat passengers differently ― or even cancel their ride request ― based on race or gender. 🤔🤔🤔 Posted by @theoriginaldatvegasgyrl
