# Kalani F > While Uber and Lyft operate as tech-driven intermediaries, UNIRIDE Rideshare, focus on bay area College & University students. kalani Founder of UNIRIDE. please read BIO WEBSITE IN WORKS Location: Union City, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kalanif https://kalani-rides-298b4ef9.base44.app After completing 500+ rides as an Uber and Lyft driver, I saw the 'under the hood' problems of the gig economy firsthand. I watched students in the Bay Area struggle with predatory surge pricing while drivers navigated unpredictable earnings. ​I’m building a better way. My business structure is a dedicated, eco-friendly rideshare service designed exclusively for the 400,000+ college students in the Bay Area. By moving to a subscription-based model and utilizing a 100% hybrid/electric fleet, we are solving three problems at once: affordability for students, predictable income for drivers, and the carbon footprint of urban transit. We aren't just moving people; we’re moving the needle on how rideshare should work." The Algorithm for Change: ​For the Students: A $99/mo membership that locks in a 30% discount on every ride. While Uber charges $45 during rush hour, our members pay a flat $14 minimum. That’s over $350 in savings per month for the average student commuter. ​For the Drivers: No more 40% commissions. Drivers pay a flat $150/month maintenance fee and keep 100% of their hustle. ​For the Planet: A strict 100% Hybrid and Electric fleet. We are building the future of the Bay Area, and that future is green. ## Work Experience ### Software Developer @ myself Jan 2025 – Present ## Education ### Natomas high school ### Business Administration and Management in General Sacramento City College ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kalani-f-01683b332 --- Source: https://flows.cv/kalanif JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kalanif/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-10
