UBER's Legal And Safe Competitor To Launch In Palm Beach County

BOCA RATON, Fla., June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fed up with UBER's antics, Rebekah Urbina is taking on the $40 Billion Silicon Valley Bully by launching TAPPXI, a Legal, Licensed, Full Time Commercially Insured Smart Phone app to request On Demand Car Service in Palm Beach County.

"Given the current State of Affairs, and in light of the plethora of documented and reported safety issues, Consumers, Corporations and the Government are exercising neglect by either using their services, or allowing illegal Car Service/TAXI Apps  to operate illegally or under self regulated terms," said Rebekah Urbina.

"This is Main Street vs. Wall Street pumping a Silicon Valley start up to do an IPO as soon as possible and at any cost. TAPPXI is not Goliath in this scenario, but we will do everything in our power to make sure that there is a safe, legal, commercially insured and reliable option out there."

As part of TAPPXI's soft launch in June 2015, TAPPXI will give away up to 1,000 free rides to first time passengers for rides originating from Boca Raton and Delray Beach.

"We will start in Boca and Delray, and as we gain momentum we will expand to other areas in South Florida. We are excited about the challenge and know that an educated passenger or responsible corporation will be our best passenger/customer."

TAPPXI has also plans to franchise its cashless On Demand Car service app to major metros through the United States, offering passengers the convenience of seamlessly using TAPPXI, regardless of the city they are in.

"For-hire transportation is a very personal service. The "peer-to-peer" Uber model is even more personal. Drivers are picking up passengers in their own personal cars. Drivers and passengers are exchanging personal information, including cell phone numbers, pictures and home addresses. Level II (fingerprint) background checks are critical for a service that relies on such personal information and are 43 times more effective than the name-based checks currently used by illegal apps," said Urbina.

"Traditional "for-hire" drivers are required to carry commercial liability insurance at all times, pass government mandated background checks, wear an identification badge, provide service to everyone and register their vehicles with local regulatory agencies. UBER and Lyft should do the same."
