Startups, Nonprofit App Rush to Become the Next Uber in Austin
By Seung Lee On 5/27/16
For Christopher David, a 2,000-mile move from his hometown in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to Austin, Texas, this week was the opportunity of a lifetime. As the founder of Arcade City, a ride-sharing platform that connects drivers and passengers via Facebook groups, David saw Austin as a ridesharing gold mine left vacant when Uber and Lyft, the two biggest rideshare companies in the United States, departed town.
On May 9, two days after losing a public referendum that would have overturned a City Council ordinance requiring fingerprint checks on rideshare drivers, Uber and Lyft left the Texan capital. The two companies lobbied hard against fingerprinting, spending more than $8 million in the fight. Their departure left a vacuum for the booming ridesharing sector, and it is now being filled quickly by startups like David's Arcade City and others.
"Austin is the only large developed city in the world that doesn't have Uber and Lyft," says Joshua Baer, who runs an Austin-based entrepreneur incubator called Capital Factory. He notes that there may not be a city more prepared for a post-Uber experiment than Austin. The city of 930,000 is home to a very large tech community, including the second-largest Apple headquarters in the world, research labs for car manufacturers and Google, which is testing its self-driving cars there.

In the mad rush to become Austin's next Uber, Arcade City has become one of the most widely used replacement ridesharing platforms, with 26,000 drivers and riders in its Facebook group. And it is the most unorthodox. Riders post pickup requests and drivers reply—many times with screen shots of their old Uber or Lyft driver's page to show their ratings. While spending minimally in marketing, Arcade City saw its Facebook page grow through word-of-mouth in the past month.
