For the people who were using FREENOW (originally from Germany), I just received a notification on the app saying it is now being acquired by Lyft, an American company.
Just thought I’d share it here.
Edit: If you’re planning to delete your account, see the comment by Alaknar on making a GDPR request. It’s quick and easy to do.
We actually had a local alternative here, BEAT. Then FreeNow bought it and we had to switch apps which was annoying but hey at least it wasn’t Uber. Now this gets bought too. I guess it’s either Uber or Lyft now.
Bolt still exists!!! And tends to be cheaper than Uber.
Bolt came here this year apparently so I may try it next time. Still not available in most cities though :/
