Jordan Mills, a small business owner who commutes into downtown from his home in Brentwood has to transfer buses twice, then, take the subway to get to his workplace. Not only did he find the commute quite costly and uncomfortable in the rush hour crowds, he found it time consuming. But with the availability of the new app, Freewheel, he found that he saved time and money with a quick ride available within 5 minutes of flagging for a ride from any location he was at. “This is definitely the future of transportation,” said Jordan. “can't get to work and back any other way Jordan Mills isn’t the only commuter who feels this way. An estimated 2000 new commuters in the city of Sherwood alone are expected to use the ride-sharing app within the next year and almost 500 new drivers have signed up to the program. Freewheel is available for download at the Freewheel website and at Miniapp.com and Amacom.com. www-freewheel.com/histor ‘The idea for Freewheel began when Michael Owens and his co-workers first started a car pooling program at the company they worked at. Owens had to transfer the subway three times and the bus twice to get to work and although he could drive, the parking was limited. He managed the group by assigning different drivers and mapped out routes to each co-worker's homes. He created an app that everyone could connect and ‘communicate through so that the designated drivers and passengers could easily find ‘each other. Five years later, Freewheel is now a major company with tens of thousands. of users, both drivers and commuters around the country. Freewheel is dedicated to keeping the cost of commuting down and the efficiency up. In time it hopes to bring its services to people around the world.
