Great idea... but do you have confidence that Uber/Lyft/Sidecar are happy to be aggregated like this?

We would be happy to take any of those providers down from our listing if they reach out to us.

As we perceive it, if they chose to be removed, they provide an advantage to their competitors. We're listing them as benefit to our user base, but in doing so, we send over free traffic.

I like it!

Is there anyway that when you pass the user from Corral to Google Maps that you can pass their location using a discrete address vs. Lat/Lng coordinates? Sometimes I forget what I was googling directions to awhile later and I'd prefer the to/from vs. the lat long.

The lat/long coordinates are more accurate which is why we're using it. However, we've heard this from a few people already, so we might change it in the next release.

First of all, this is great. I'll definitely be using it on a regular basis for public transit and 'taxi' rides. Second, I love that you have bike directions too. BUT, the bike directions seem to be car directions when you hit the link to google maps. Please explain...
