Tweet Tweet Tripid's CEO took the stage at Startup Arena to address whathe calls an "endemic problem" in Southeast Asia:traffic. Jakarta's traffic is certainly quite miserable.Tripid tries to help resolve this by creating a "safe,community driven route-sharing platform" that matchescommuters and drivers on the web and on mobile. In a brief demo, we met "Sam" and "Mike."Sam has a car and wants to share, and Mike is looking for a saferide. Sam can use her browser to sign into Tripid and add a newroute, including times, prices, seats available, and more.
Mike canuse his mobile device to search for routes, sees her route, andbooks it. Both users have ratings on the service to showthey're trustworthy. At the end of the trip, they press the"end" button and money is deposited into Sam'saccount. Then they can rate each other. The trip also generates a"trip ticket" that's viewable on social media.
The market for transportation just in Manila is quite large: $15million. Tripid wants to take a small piece of this, and enablepeople to meet up based on lots of different factors
