We would like to thank all of our 250,000+ wonderful members from around the world that helped us create a great online community. We are proud to have been innovators in the online ridesharing industry.
Powering ridesharing for 100+ brand partners & events
A national bus company formally initiated legal action to prevent ridesharing and force us to suspend operations. We used the power of our community to put pressure on the government, and as a result the laws were changed. This paved the way for the future of ridesharing.

During its peak, PickupPal had over 1 million page views a month, and more than 100 brandname partners, including Live Nation®, AEG Live®, The Home Depot®, Nike®, Virgin®, and the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Here is one of our investor slide decks.
Some video footage from the archives: a GlobalTV interview with John Stewart, a news segment interviewing a rider during the government shutdown, and a Nine Inch Nails fan promoting her PickupPal link to promote ridesharing to EdgeFest.
The founders of PickupPal, Eric Dewhirst and John Stewart, continue to be disrupters. They went on to build Txtify.io, innovating and revolutionizing business-client interactions — a journey that led to Txtify being acquired by Constant Contact.
