Transportation literally means the movement of humans as well as other commodities from one specific location to another. It involves different modes or means whose major aim still revolves around the main central point or ideology of transportation which is "movement of commodities from one location to another". These different modes of transportation includes: air, land( can either be through rail or road), water/sea, cable, pipeline etc. Transportation is very essential in that it plays a major role in civilisation by enabling trade between people in different locations.
But in the major means of transportation to be considered in this review is that done by land (road) specifically "cab" usually considered in the use of uber.
Uber is a means of transportation whereby a driver-partner uses his own vehicle or his partners car to convey people from a particular specified pick up point to their preferred destinations within the same city of pick up and in return are paid for each trip they complete and all these is set into play with just a click on the phone with the required application. But however the current transport system is faced with challenges that have been a hindrance to full scalability of the transport industry due to it's centralised model. The challenges includes: high cost of services, lack of motivation for the drivers registered on the platform, high taxes or charges on drivers etc and many more. And to solve all these challenges is however the core target of the platform REDCAB.
