Transport β€’ Marketplace

Empower is a decentralized rideshare platform that lets drivers set their own rates and receive 100% of the fare (Empower takes zero commission). The service offers driver and rider mobile apps, enables riders to request favorite or same-gender drivers for safety, and advertises lower average rider costs (about 20% less than competitors). Empower emphasizes driver-focused features (local customer support, business tools, subscription-based model) and reports metrics such as 35M+ rides, 1M+ riders, and $600M+ driver earnings. The company positions itself as returning transportation decisions to drivers and riders rather than providing transportation directly.
