WaveRide brings back the simplicity of street-hailing — but with QR codes and instant booking. No app to download, no account to create. Here's how it works for riders and drivers.
Spot a WaveRide car, open your phone camera, and scan the QR code displayed in the driver's window. No app download, no account — just tap the link that appears.
Before confirming, you'll see the full fare breakdown: $3.50 base fare + $1.75 per mile + $1.50 booking fee. No surprises — the price shown is the price you pay.
Tap confirm, and the driver receives your pickup request instantly on their dashboard. When they accept, you'll see their name, car, and rating on the next screen.
Watch the driver approach in real time on the tracking screen. When they arrive, the driver taps "Arrived" in their dashboard — you get an instant status update.
After your trip, pay via card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Then leave a star rating — your feedback shapes who rides with WaveRide.
Fill out the quick driver application — vehicle make, model, plate, and your license details. Upload your TNC endorsement. Applications are reviewed daily.
Once approved, you'll receive your unique driver QR code to display in your car window and login credentials for your driver dashboard.
Your QR code is displayed in your car window. Riders scan it to request a ride from you specifically.
Log in to your driver dashboard and set your status to Available (green). The stoplight system shows riders you're ready: green = available, yellow = on a ride, red = offline.
When a rider scans your QR and books, you see the request in your dashboard: pickup location, destination, and estimated fare. Accept within the window or it passes on.
Drop the rider at their destination. Payment processes automatically. You keep 82% of every fare — your balance updates in real time and you can cash out anytime.
Track every ride, your running balance, and cash-out history all in one place.
Next time you see a WaveRide car around Berks County, scan the QR code and go. No app, no waiting.
