The opportunity.
cabeazy is building the UK's first driver-owned ride-hailing platform.
A market ready to move.
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.
10% capped commission
Drivers pay 10% of each fare, capped at £149/month. Full-time drivers hit the cap by day 7 and ride free the rest of the month.
Driver-collects model
Drivers collect payment directly from passengers — cash or card. cabeazy collects its fee monthly via GoCardless Direct Debit.
GoCardless Direct Debit
Automated, predictable billing. No float, no payment processing complexity. Drivers keep the money as they earn it.
Cooperative governance
Built towards driver ownership. Members vote on commission rates, platform rules, and profit sharing. One driver, one vote.
