Will this carpooling app work?

October 18, 2012October 18, 2012 by Karthik S

I recall seeing quite a few tweets on how Olacabs works when you use their GPS-based map service. In short, you look up the map on your GPS-enabled phone, identify an Olacabs car close to your location and click on one to…

January 19, 2010February 17, 2011 by Karthik S
