Vancouver, BC, March 21, 2019--(T-Net)--BC-founded Kater Technologies announced today on its Twitter feed that the company is formally launching beta testing of a new ride-hailing service in Vancouver, starting next week (on March 30th).
Vancouver residents can sign up now for a chance to be part of their beta testing, on the company website here: https://www.kater.com or https://signup.kater.com/
'Hey Vancouver, your Kater car is on its way!' greets users to the company website.
Kater says it has successfully operated for 3 years as an app connecting users with personal drivers for their own vehicles and is now bringing ride-hail services to the province.
The Kater Ride-hail app allows users to request a ride from their smartphone and be matched with a driver within 5 minutes.
The app will reportedly provide upfront pricing for all on-demand rides.
With their top priorities being safety and customer service, Kater says its app was designed to create a superior user experience and improve transportation for British Columbians.
The service wil be operating initially only in the city of Vancouver during its beta test phase.
The company says it is also recruiting for drivers and is currently offering a $1,000 sign-up bonus for new drivers (terms and conditions apply). A posting on their Twiiter feed says drivers can "earn up to $35/hour".
How it works
Kater says it will be easy to request a ride. Simply download the app, sign up, and follow these steps.
Kater's fare structure (see below) is set by the Passenger Transportation Board, and will reportedly be the same as current taxi fares, according to a number of sources, including Business in Vancouver.
The company says it will guarantee this fare structure, and will have no surge pricing, so users can be sure of their trip cost.
According to inmformation on the company's website, the following will be the costs at launch for the new ride sharing service:
