Company Helps Older Adults Without Phones Take Advantage of Uber, Lyft

GoGo Grandparent is a company that offers transportation services like Lyft and Uber for seniors, reports azfamily.com . "We cater to people that might not have a smartphone, like an older adult who might not feel comfortable or maybe someone who is visually impaired," says GoGo Grandparent's Darren Hsu. "Our fares would go from the Lyft and Uber costs and on top of that it would be $0.27 per minute of whatever the ride would be." In one example, GoGo Grandparent agents will send the user's family tracking links and the ratings of drivers. The company also is striving to add food and dining smartphone apps to its services so people can benefit from Postmates, Grubhub, and similar apps.
