BOSTON and AUSTIN, Texas, July 28, 2017 -- Fasten has launched Fasten Karma, the ride-hailing industry’s first rewards program. Beginning today, after completing 10 trips, riders automatically get $5 deducted from the bill on their next trip. There are no blackout dates, no sunset provisions, no fine print, no restrictions.
“This program is the first of its kind in the ride-hailing industry,” said Kirill Evdakov, co-founder and CEO of Fasten. “We called it Karma because our riders have been doing something good by using our service that pays drivers more, and now it’s time for the good to come back to them. While other ride hailing providers continue to heavily subsidize new riders, we never forget the importance of our loyal customers.”
Unlike other companies that are focused on subsidizing rides upfront or at irregular intervals, Fasten’s program promises a steady and uncomplicated commitment to its most frequent riders. Fasten’s rewards program reflects the company’s dedication to simplicity, equity and transparency in all aspects of its business.
