They could do all theuld classroom work in two hoursrk i and instead they make them pay p all this money for the 30 hour u session. It was total make work wasteorka of time for everybody. Reporter thats not tosot say people dont think d. C. Thic drivers could use a little education. Ucion. Drivers in d. C. Are. Sometimes i think a little crazy. Crazy. I think they should i t absolutely have the drivingly h tests. I mean, you know, drivers ed teaches especially the youngpe peopleci now, you hear accidentc either under 18 or over 65 so so yeah i think its definitelyefil important. Reporter there is still a test but for now t future fur drivers will just have tot he t study on their own glime they ge better be safe cause i got a kid out here. H that was Jennifer Davis reporting. Report first time drivers can still dri take a commercial course ifoue they want or just pick up study guide and look it over on their own.

T wah have you seen the stomachto churning video of a man ridingig his hoverboard a little too close to the edge of a building. Di more on this heart stoppingrt sg video ahead and a look at whos behind the stunt. Well have that and much coming up. Welcome back. Well, everyone these days uses e ride sharing apps. Ri can we get the prommer, please . But not everyone mayry be aware there are local ride re sharing apps that are drivingred up businesses in d. C. Usesse joining to us talk more aboute this is the cofounder and ceo of the local ride sharing startup called split. This is interesting. S inrest yes. In the way you use it but whatuw makes you all so different. Dife the big difference is we i have an algorithm that under u pins the service that wevice tte provide that finds peopled p going in the same direction together so you actually end up shaving the ride with othertr people. People. So when you go on our app, we op have an iphone and an an android app. D when you use our app you tell yl us where you are and where where youre going and wend we immediately send you an offer af of a pickup time and a and dropoff time window an priceown and if you like that offer you u say yes, car can comes and ces d picks you up. P. There will already be someoneon else in the car and on the waynt to your destinations wells we make other stops, pick up and ad drop off other people. Eople. Its much more affordable. Dabl we try to benchmark metroark m Public Transportation pricily pi we look at ourselves as as Commuter Service and to get serd people around all the time the t when they need to move aroundro the city at an affordableffda price in a convenient way. Ve how much are we talking . H el whats the average. Vera so the average price is about five bucks. And it route you take or the specificc pickup and dropoff. Dpoff. So lets say if youre going from georgetown to dupontont circle in a cab or an uberbe that might cost eight or nine o bucks and in a split would ititd cost about four. Fou so you are saving. Yoare sa yes. And this is just localhiis j based, not nationwide which isii another difference. Drence. Yeah, were just in d. C. We actually launched in d. C. D. About a year ago. About were can coming up on our oneur Year Anniversary in may whichn h is very exciting. Eitin were just in the city. Were not yet in the suburbs. Sr were expanding regularly. Reguy we are trying to as quickly asus possible get to cover the whole city and as many of the t suburbs as we can as well. Can anyone just downloadust l the app and just start usingrt u it. It. Yes, the app is free to download. Download were on the app store and google play store. Tore and anybody can download andd a start using it. Art us all you got do is sign withig wt your phone number or emailor e and your credit card. T c and so youre obviously theue founder of it. R of i what made you think of doing this . Are you a i thought i could do it better. Tt i worked in transportationpot for many years and being in i the industry, watching the changes that were happening on uber and lyft launched inin the in 2010, 2011, watching n the dramatic shift that was that happening was really exciting. You know, its not that manyat y times that you get to be onet tn the side of an industry where theres massive disruption occurring so it was really a ite great opportunity to think, well, how do you how do youo compete back . How do you look u at this base and think whats wa the next step . You know, now n that uber and lyft are here and have changed the way people think about using taxis t or taxi Replacement Services whats the next step. T sharing the ride is where the wt future sits in efficiencyffice getting more people in carseopl together, its in reducing reduc your Carbon Footprint by car sharing the ride with otherridet passengers. Its in getting the road because more peopleeo are in the car instead of onensn person sitting in the back ofngk a car by themselves you cans yo share with multiple people. Ppl. Thats where the idea kept ideak coming up and we startedwe srt working on it and here we are ae today. Da congratulations. C and thank you for joining us.
