The city of Round Rock approved a contract with an on-demand taxi service — zTrip — to provide people with a more flexible form of public transit than the traditional bus line.
The five-year contract, worth $6,258,565.60, will be paid from the city’s general fund and from federal funding.
The zTrip service acts very similarly to how other rideshare apps, like Uber and Lyft, work. Riders can hail a ride by using either an app, online, or via phone. The taxi service will give someone a nearby “virtual bus stop” to meet their ride, which they could share with other people.
