About Ride the Rio

Rio is a new way to get around New Braunfels. We’re an on-demand microtransit service that’s smart, easy, and reliable.

When you’re ready to travel, book a ride in the Ride the Rio app and our technology will pair you with other people headed your way.

Whether you want to run an errand, visit a friend, or need reliable transit to recurring events (work, appointments, etc.), this service will get you there!

HOW IT WORKS:
- Book a ride on your smart phone by setting your pickup and dropoff addresses, and indicating if you’re riding with any additional passengers. You may also call a booking agent to book your trip over the phone.
- You will be given an estimated time when the vehicle will arrive upon booking your trip. The estimated arrival time of the driver will be automatically updated as your vehicle makes its way to meet you.
- We’ll give you an automated text or push notification when we’re nearby.
- When your driver arrives, please promptly board the vehicle.
- There may be others on board, and you may make a few additional stops along the way! You can track your ride in real-time from the app.

Nice and speedy. The concession form for disabled people on the app does not work however. They need to fix that.

I took The Rio to get home from work since my car is broke right now. And I was very surprised, enjoyed it and the ride was comfy and smooth. I will definitely be taking it again. And the driver Eric was polite, friendly and a great driver!!
