Think of NYU Safe Ride as your safe alternative to get to and from home. Book an on-demand ride on the app and our technology will find you a ride home. We will pair you with other people headed your way. No detours, no delays. How it works: - Use the app to book rides to and from points on the map. - Get picked up at your door. - Share your ride with others. - Save time and reduce carbon emissions. What we’re about: SHARED. Our algorithm matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency of a shared one. SUSTAINABLE. Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride. FREE Rides are totally free. Enough said.

The app takes forever to work and once you try to get a safe ride after multiple times, it will say that it couldn’t be booked but when you try again it says that you have already booked a ride.

The purpose of this app is for women to be able to go home safely without having to worry about walking home alone ay night or getting accosted on the subway. God forbid we have to choose between spending time with friends and our own safety! Unfortunately, the reality of SafeRide is that it is a glitchy, inaccurate app that does not have nearly enough drivers available (leaving wait times of potentially hours), has 0 transparency with riders about when they will actually arrive, and has some incredibly rude drivers who will not wait even 30 seconds before speeding away. It is 40 degrees outside. My ride was stated to have arrived for three minutes. I walk all across my location and do not see the car. When the car is finally in sight, I run up to it only for the car to DRIVE AWAY and cancel my ride. This is unforgivable. I am walking home for forty minutes in the freezing cold because drivers do not have the decency to see a girl RUNNING to the car and wait just a few more seconds. This is a joke of an app that I am happily uninstalling now.

An absolute disaster

The app is extremely buggy and very slow. Time estimates are way off, and rides cancel for no apparent reason. Safe ride used to be with ACTUAL campus safety vehicles through the university. It’s no longer dependable, takes significantly longer to arrive than estimated times indicate, and is RARELY there for you when you actually need it late at night or in unsafe situations. Get it together. I expect MUCH more from this school.

Performance improvements and bug fixes.
