Omni Begins in Texas: A New Chapter for Riders and Drivers in San Antonio and Austin
If you spend enough time in Texas, you start to understand something: people here don’t ask for perfection — they ask for respect. That idea stayed with us as we listened to early-morning airport workers in San Antonio, evening commuters in Austin, and drivers who wanted predictability instead of guesswork. Omni wasn’t born from a boardroom or a spreadsheet. It was born on the roads and in the neighborhoods of Texas, where everyday people asked for a ride service that finally puts them first.
When you build something new, you don’t start with noise — you start with intention. That’s exactly how Omni is arriving in Texas. Not as a copy of what already exists, not as another app chasing the same patterns, but as a fresh beginning shaped by real conversations with drivers, riders, hotel staff, airport workers, and everyday commuters who have been asking for something better.
For us, that beginning starts in San Antonio and Austin.
Both cities represent two very different sides of Texas, yet they share something important: people here value honesty and community. They appreciate fair prices, good communication, and knowing exactly what they’re paying for — and what drivers are earning. It’s the kind of environment where a new rideshare model can grow, not because of marketing campaigns, but because people talk, and trust spreads by word of mouth.
That’s the foundation Omni is built on.
Why Texas? Why now?
Over the last decade, ridesharing has become a necessity — but also a source of frustration. Riders feel the impact of unpredictable pricing and last-minute surges. Drivers feel the weight of high commission cuts and inconsistent earnings. Somewhere along the way, the balance was lost.
Texas offered us the space to reset that balance.
In San Antonio, we listened to airport staff explaining how early-morning shifts always make transportation complicated. In Austin, we heard from commuters who said reliability matters more than anything — especially when they’re heading to the office, the airport, or home after a long day. And in both cities, drivers shared stories about long hours, low take-home pay, and feeling invisible in a system powered by their labor.
Omni wasn’t created to answer every global problem in mobility. It was created to fix what’s immediately broken for real people here in Texas.
A model built around fairness
Every ride on Omni is pre-scheduled. To many riders, that means peace of mind — knowing that your airport ride tomorrow morning won’t disappear, won’t get reassigned, and won’t suddenly jump in price. To drivers, it means something even more powerful: predictability. When you know your schedule, your earnings, and your workload, everything about driving becomes simpler and more respectful of your time.
At the center of Omni is a simple promise:
Drivers should keep the majority of what they earn.
By offering one of the lowest service fees in the country, Omni gives drivers the chance to earn more without working more. It’s not a promotional rate. It’s our model.
This isn’t a headline. It’s our identity.
Starting with two cities that shape culture
Launching in San Antonio and Austin means starting where diverse communities, strong neighborhoods, and large-scale travel intersect.
In San Antonio, airport travel, tourism, military activity, and family visits create a constant rhythm of movement. People here take pride in hospitality — and we want Omni to reflect that spirit.
In Austin, growth feels constant. New companies arrive every month. New residents arrive every week. The traffic challenges are real, but so is the energy that comes from a city defined by change, creativity, and innovation. It’s a place where a new mobility idea can actually be welcomed.
These two cities represent the beginning of Omni’s story — not its limits.
Where Omni is heading next
While today belongs to San Antonio and Austin, our roadmap is already pointing toward Houston, Dallas, and El Paso. Each city has its own personality. Each has its own transportation challenges. But they all share a need for fairness, reliability, and a platform that respects both riders and drivers.
We aren’t racing into these new cities; we’re moving intentionally. Omni grows city by city, relationship by relationship, driver by driver. That’s how a sustainable model is built.
A new ride experience for Texas
If Omni had a slogan, it wouldn’t be about speed or technology. It would be about people.
At its core, Omni is a space where riders know what they’re paying for and drivers know exactly what they’re earning. No hidden fees. No surprise surges. No tricks behind the curtain. Just transportation that works the way it should.
Texas is where this vision becomes real.
We’re here to bring a new standard of fairness to rideshare, one city at a time.
We’re here to listen — really listen — and build around the needs of the communities we serve.
And we’re here to prove that a transportation platform can succeed by doing what’s right, not what’s easiest.
