A model nobody else
is building.
cabeazy is the UK's first driver-owned ride-hailing platform. Drivers pay a flat monthly subscription instead of per-ride commission. Passengers pay normal market rates. The cooperative structure aligns every incentive in the system.
A market ready to move.
- [1]Department for Transport — Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Statistics, England 2024 (revised 22 Jan 2025). 381,092 driver licences as of 1 April 2024 (+10% YoY); 313,008 licensed vehicles.
- [2]Worker Info Exchange & University of Oxford — "Not Even Nice Work If You Can Get It," June 2025. Algorithmic audit of 1.5M trips across 258 UK Uber drivers; 82% of longer-serving drivers earn less per hour than before dynamic pay.
The window is open.
Drivers are fed up
The Uber v Aslam ruling, rising commission rates, and the worker rights movement have created a massive appetite for a fairer alternative. Drivers are actively looking for somewhere better to go.
Regulation favours new entrants
TfL licensing is accessible and transparent — it is not a monopoly barrier. Any operator that meets the standards can obtain a licence. Regulation protects drivers and passengers, not incumbents.
Technology is commoditised
Building a dispatch platform no longer requires millions in R&D. Modern tooling, open APIs, and lean infrastructure mean a focused team can ship a production-grade platform at a fraction of the old cost.
Simple, fair, sustainable.
Driver pays flat £50/mo
One subscription, end of story. No per-ride cut, no surge skim. Predictable revenue per driver — predictable cost for them too.
Platform takes 0%
cabeazy passes the fare straight through. Revenue comes from subscriptions, not commission. Every incentive points the same direction.
Driver keeps the fare
100% of every booking lands with the driver. The more they drive, the more they keep — a working model that rewards work.
Passenger pays market rate
No premium, no inflated surge. Passengers pay what a fair ride should cost, and the driver who turns up actually earns from it.
Fare in → platform skims 25–45% commission→ driver gets what's left → passenger still pays surge. The cut scales with how hard the driver works.
“Subscription, not commission. The whole model in two words.”
