Another reminder that the current rideshare model isn’t built for trust. A Saint Mary’s student recently reported sexual harassment by an Uber driver returning to campus. This is exactly why we built Rides2U differently. Transportation in college communities should be built on known drivers, scheduled rides, and real accountability.

A week after this podcast, I’m still getting messages from drivers and riders who watched it, and that tells me the conversation matters. We talked about why ride-share doesn’t have to mean unpredictable pay for drivers or uncertainty for riders. At @Rides2U , every ride is reserved, centrally dispatched by a real person, and built around reliability, safety, and trust, not surge pricing or last-minute cancellations. For riders, that means knowing who’s picking you up, when they’re arriving, and that someone is accountable if plans change. For drivers, it means fair pay and predictable work. If you missed it the first time, it’s still worth a listen. The issues we covered aren’t going away anytime soon. 🎙️ Watch here: youtu.be/RmolzegrZBs Curious what stood out to you — driver or rider. #Rideshare #Safety #DriverPay #Mobility #Rides2

I’ll be joining The Rideshare Guy tonight on the Show Me the Money Club livestream to talk about what we’re building at Rides2U and why college-town transportation deserves better. We’ll get into driver pay, safety, reliability, and how a reservation-based model changes everything for riders and drivers. Tune in here: 🔗 youtube.com/live/ZMucx2elWBU Looking forward to the conversation.

Thanksgiving Break is always one of the busiest travel windows of the year for college families, but November 28th to December 1st was something none of us expected. A historic snowstorm rolled across the Midwest and slammed major airports with delays, diversions and long stretches of planes sitting on the tarmac with no place to deplane. While the airlines were working through gridlock, thousands of students were trying to get back to Notre Dame, Purdue, IU, Michigan, Ole Miss and beyond. And our team showed up. In just a few days, we handled 6,500 messages, 669 calls, 730 unique conversations, and logged 28 hours on the phone. All while managing hundreds of rides and over 600 riders getting back to campus. None of this was easy. But watching our team at @Rides2U communicate, adjust, and work together in real time reminded me why I’m so proud of what we’re building at Rides2U. When flights got delayed for hours, when students were stuck on the tarmac, when schedules fell apart, our focus never changed: Get every student home safely. Don’t leave anyone behind. Ever. Out of all the rides across all campuses, we received only two parent concerns, both tied directly to airline delays that pushed past our grace window. We responded with transparency, empathy, and the same guiding principle we use on every tough call: If that stranded student was our own kid, what would we want someone to do? That’s who we are. We’re not traditional ride-share and we’re not black car. We’re a “tweener” service built on safety, communication and human decency, especially when things get messy. If someone is looking for a service that will leave a kid behind because it’s more convenient, then Rides2U probably isn’t the right fit. But if you care about a team that will fight through snowstorms, chaos, and thousands of texts to make sure your student gets back safely, then that’s exactly what we’re here for. Proud of our team. Proud of our drivers. Proud of the families who trusted us during one of the toughest travel weekends of the year.

Uber : $75 for a 115-mile, 2 hour airport run. 😬 @Rides2U : $162.50… $243.75… even $406.25 for the same route. 💰🔥 One company keeps shrinking driver pay and acting like it’s “just how it is.” We actually pay drivers what the trip is worth. 🚫 No surge roulette 🚫 No algorithm games 🚫 No crumbs ✅ Real money ✅ Real respect ✅ Real transparency Drivers: Would you rather burn 115 miles for $75… or work with the company that pays you like your time matters? 🚗💵 #Rides2U #DriverPay #FairPayForDrivers #RideshareReality #DoTheMath

If you watch anything from today's Charlie Kirk memorial service, let it be these words from @MrsErikaKirk. This is the Gospel in real life. Just... wow.

“As a firefighter, I’ve seen what happens when safety gets overlooked. I wasn’t about to overlook it for my daughters. And for every student like them.” As a firefighter, seeing what unsafe rides could cost. When it was time to send his own daughters to college, he didn’t trust Uber or Lyft. So he built something better. ✅ Background-checked drivers ✅ No surge pricing ✅ Pre-booked, guaranteed rides Rides2U is local. It’s personal.

Saturday night after the Zach Bryan concert at Notre Dame, a group of friends waited over 2 hours, walked half a mile, and still couldn’t get an Uber. That’s the reality with traditional rideshare.

This is exactly why we built Rides2U. ✅ Guaranteed reservations ✅ Local, vetted drivers ✅ Reliability when it matters most When trust matters most, we don’t leave you on the curb. College towns, concerts, game days — we’re here to make sure you get where you need to go, safely and on time. #Rides2U #CollegeTowns #GameDayTravel #TrustMattersMost
