The former rideshare company was shut down in Tulsa. We do have lyft and Uber and at what cost? Its too expensive for the average Tulsan who need it the most and locals are struggling as companies downsize, locals are unemployed due to the pandemic and locals are seeking remote jobs post covid giving them a healthy balance to be there for their families. So we need our very own rideshare company and Five Stars App Solutions has the answer. Get a rideshare buddy within the app to share the cost of a ride, schedule ahead of time, make 5min stops, switch between driving and using the service and all for a reasonable cost and quality, safe five star service.

Elevator Pitch

The subscription Pick Me Up App of Five Stars was designed to address the transportation needs of the growing number of remote workers' (1.04% increase annually) currently living in Tulsa and 9.8% of households that do not own a car. Known as one of the most dangerous cities to live, this is also one of few cities with terrible road conditions (meaning increase in car repairs and maintenance), expensive insurance rates, developing industrial boom and scarcity of Uber, Lyft or the local Tride Rideshare Company that was shut down in two years. Most remote workers are encouraged to move with the hopes of settling but many do not bring a car with them. Those who do spend over $1,280 per month for car upkeep; Our subscription rides start as low as $150 for 10 rides saving them on average a sum of $680 per month.

Remote workers are able to save over $680 monthly having the luxury of a reliable ride from their very own assigned driver for as needed rides with no wait times, fees or tips- such rides might include grocery runs, social events and airport shuttles, including the ability to be in touch with community while being assured of safety and inspected rides. They are also given the opportunity to make passive income by becoming drivers on the app which therefore offsets the costs of shipping their cars with them (approx. 2,000) or bought new cars on arrival (av. $5000). This job gives security, flexibility of hours and a plan ahead of time so drivers get the freedom to do other things and plan for it. They also then get a chance to share in the profit of the company which is not offered in most rideshare companies and can switch between riding and driving. The community also gets to benefit from reduction in pollution, (cleaner air), reduction in road wear and tear, with less vehicles on the road and civic and social impact of a local company contributing to the industrial boom of the state.

Imagine a young African American female travelling for the first time as a remote worker with two kids and knows no one in Tulsa. Only to be surprised by a rude awakening that there is literally no Uber vehicle in sight. Imagine all the horror stories she has been told about racism in Tulsa. She needs the assurance of a reliable, safe ride whose drivers are background checked, vaccinated, masked and cars inspected periodically with license plates, registration and insurance up to date. She needs to be picked up right in front of the arrival bay and taken right in front of her driveway. She needs a friendly face and assurance that we will be there again in the morning to pick her up and take her downtown to shop. This is the service we provide.
