GoGoGrandparent - A way for seniors to use Uber and Lyft

very cool idea. on first glance, seems a bit irrelevant just b/c most in US have a smartphone but could definitely see this spurring Uber growth in places like Southeast Asia and Africa, where smartphone use isn't quite so ubiquitous. good luck!!

This is going to be so amazing! A few weeks ago, my grandma totaled her car. She's always felt like her car and the ability to go where she wants was the one part of freedom that she still had in her older age. For days after, she would tell me she felt trapped in her apartment and my heart broke for her. I actually did spend awhile googling "Uber for the elderly" and similar queries so that she could get out and actually *do* something. She thankfully picked out her new car last weekend, so I don't think she'll personally need GoGoGrandparent, but the experience showed me how much our grandparents need an easy way to get around when they can't drive themselves.

Smart product, think it could be very useful In France!

This is a good idea for everyone, my phone has died a couple of times and i was so desperate for a charger so i could call an uber. Having a back up plan is worth it!

So is this another @tweetmagicnow, for the less smartphone savvy generations, launching with a single purpose before scaling out? Or... another thing?

Congrats @justinboogaard & team on tackling a major pain point!

Thank you for building this!

Much needed. In fact, tech for elderly is ripe for major disruption.

Great idea! I actually really want to get rid of my smartphone, but the thing I'd really miss is the ability to call a ride. Problem solved!

Genius.
