To address your implied security concern.

You can potentially expand the Gcab application to include everyone, not just cab companies. In our current energy crisis, people can share their ride to work with total strangers, or even people they loosely know, to share the cost of transportation.

I developed a Pay Your Way Hitchhiking cell phone concept, and the series of events that would make this possible; including security features.

Basically, Gcab has developed the basic tools to make this possible, except for the security feature needed to prevent abuse. Which I suspect the camera on the cell phone could implement the needed security.

Essentially, the concept is that if you are wanting to go from A to B, you start the Gtransport application. You enter where you want to go either directly, from a favorites, or a lookup. Then you post how much you will pay for the trip and when you need to travel. The application posts your offer and participating users who want to share a ride, and participating cab drivers, see your offer.

That's the rudiment, but the much more detailed version is posted at

Which also includes security, how money is made by the software provider, ... with additional features like carrying packages without a passenger, supporting other industries, ....
