Uber and Lyft now have another competitor... in Boston at least.
Fasten aims to be different from Lyft and Uber. Some features that are unique to Fasten is that there is never a surge or prime-time fare. Drivers get to choose which requests to accept. If there are more ride requests than drivers, then ride requesters can voluntarily pay more with a Boost (similar to Surge pricing, but the percentage is rider selected and is voluntary) to entice the driver to select that particular request over others.
All trips are logged with a map of the route and receipt, and can be deleted from the app for privacy if desired. All communication (texting and calling) are done from within the app.
In my honest opinion, the boost system is not sustainable, and can result in frustrated people trying to get a ride. Since they're new though, why not grab a free $20 credit towards your first ride and pass it along (keep the conga going) while there are more drivers than riders?

And if you didn't see it in the title, Fasten is only available in Boston at the moment.
