Driver-first. City-first.

Rideshare built for
the streets you know.

Orbit is a new kind of rideshare — designed for mid-size cities where Uber and Lyft are an afterthought. Better splits for drivers. Faster pickups for riders. Real competition, finally.

Why Orbit exists

Uber and Lyft built their empires on a few mega-cities. Everyone else got the scraps.

Long wait times. Surged-out pricing. Drivers who don't know the neighborhood. In city after city, the dominant apps treat local riders and drivers like an afterthought. Orbit was built for those markets — with drivers and riders as the priority, not an afterthought.

70% to drivers

We take less than Uber or Lyft. Drivers keep more. That means better cars, friendlier drivers, and a platform that actually respects the work.

Local-first dispatch

We prioritize drivers who actually know the area. No algorithm sending someone from across town for a 3-mile trip.

No algorithmic surge

Dynamic pricing exists, but we cap it differently. Riders pay fair rates. Drivers know what they'll earn before they accept.

What we built

Everything a modern rideshare needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Rider App

One-tap ride requests

Request a ride in seconds. See your driver's name, car, rating, and ETA before they arrive. Track the car live on an actual map.

Driver App

Transparent earnings view

See exactly what you'll earn per ride before accepting. No hidden deductions, no post-ride surprises. Your split, your terms.

Platform

Real-time dispatch

Match riders with nearby drivers in seconds. Our dispatch algorithm prioritizes proximity and driver ratings — not some opaque ranking.

Payments

In-app, instant payout

Riders pay in the app. Drivers get paid after every ride — not weekly, not bi-weekly. Instant transfer to your bank.

Mid-size cities. Underserved markets. Our focus.

Orbit isn't trying to out-Uber Uber. We're building where the opportunity is real — cities with 200k to 2M people where rideshare coverage is spotty, driver satisfaction is low, and riders are left waiting.

Every city deserves a rideshare that actually shows up. Not an algorithm optimized for Silicon Valley margins. Not a platform that treats drivers as disposable. A rideshare that works for the people who live there.

That's Orbit. That's why we're here. And we're just getting started.
