For drivers

Drive for what you're worth.

15% lifetime commission cap, in writing. 85% of every fare goes to you — plus 100% of your tips. Other ride share apps take anywhere from 40% to 70% of the rider fee after booking fees, service fees, and surge cuts stack up. We don't.

85%
Of every fare to you

Contractual. Lifetime. Not a promo.

15%
The commission. Period.

15% for every driver. New, old, day one, year ten. We don't change it. Ever.

2%
Local impact, our cost

2% of every ride goes to local nonprofits — paid from 4TPGO's profit, never from your earnings or your rider's fare.

Same terms as every driver who joins after you. 85% take-home, 15% commission cap. Forever. We don't need promo rates or sign-on bonuses — the model itself is the offer.

For riders
"Same ride. Same price. Real impact on your block."
For riders

Same ride. Same price. Different math.

You don't pay anything extra. Your driver keeps more. Local Bay Area nonprofits get 2% of every fare — funded by 4TPGO out of our 15% commission, never from your fare or your driver's earnings.

Transparent math

Open the app, set your drop-off, see the fare upfront — including the surge math. No opaque pricing.

2% to a local cause

Every ride sends 2% of the fare to a Bay Area nonprofit. Pick yours — or rotate weekly. The 2% comes from 4TPGO's profit, not your fare or your driver's pay.

See where it goes

Your receipt shows fare, tip, commission, and the exact donation amount + nonprofit. Every line, every time.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Is the 15% commission cap really permanent?

Yes — for everyone. We don't change the commission. Ever. 15% is the rate for driver #1, driver #100, driver #10,000. It's written into the driver contract. No promo rates, no rate hikes for new cohorts, no asterisks. The model only works if drivers trust the math, and the math doesn't change.

How does the 2% nonprofit donation work?

Two percent of every fare is routed through a 501(c)(3) fiscal partner to vetted Bay Area nonprofits. It comes out of 4TPGO's profit — never from the driver's earnings or the rider's fare. Riders see the donation recipient on every receipt.

How much do other ride share apps actually take?

Anywhere from 40% to 70% of the rider fee, depending on the platform, the trip, and how surge fees, booking fees, and service fees stack up. The advertised commission rate is almost never the real take-rate.

Are 4TPGO drivers employees or contractors?

Independent contractors under California's Prop 22. Drivers keep flexibility while receiving earnings-floor guarantees, healthcare stipends, and occupational accident insurance.

Where can I ride today?

Launch is targeted for the San Francisco Bay Area in 2026 — starting with San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Sign up as a Founding Rider for early access in your neighborhood.

How is 4TPGO funded?

Bootstrapped with a non-dilutive capital stack — founder capital, an SBA microloan, and a Regulation Crowdfunding round planned for later this year. We're accountable to drivers and riders, not growth-at-all-costs investors.
