Six months after launching, the ride-hailing app Split is finally available to the half of the city that uses an Android phone (and lives within the service’s growing service area).

The D.C.-based Split has won attention for its seemingly rock bottom price point, which starts at $2 plus $1 per mile; drivers pick up and drop off other riders along the way.

The shared ride model has been gaining traction here and elsewhere, with both Lyft and Uber launching their versions of carpooling services in recent months, Lyft Line and UberPOOL.

“Because of the price point, it definitely appeals for a commuter or someone running errands or activities,” Split’s CEO Ario Keshani told DCist earlier this year. In other words, they are looking to appeal to people who would normally take Metro or the bus, but who are willing to may a little more to get directly from point to point or simply to avoid the beleaguered system.

Keshani says that one of the company’s main strengths is connecting neighborhoods that don’t have direct public transportation options. “There are buses that go through those areas but they are taking you right into downtown,” whereas Split could directly connect Petworth to Brookland, for example.

The company, based out of the tech incubator 1776, has been steadily increasing its service area to include the Southwest Waterfront, Glover Park, Woodley Park, Eckington, Edgewood and Catholic University, though it doesn’t yet reach across the Anacostia River.
