Make more than $400 per shift. Route ready the night before.
No more chasing trips. No more guessing where to drive. AKI drivers know their schedule before they wake up.
Why drivers are leaving Uber & Lyft for AKI.
The five things that make AKI different from a gig app — and from an old-school car service.
$400+ per shift
Drivers earn more than $400 in 12-hour+ shifts. Steady volume, no surge guessing.

Dispatchers keeping you busy
Real humans monitoring every shift, filling gaps, and feeding you the next trip. Not an algorithm.
Just $1.50 per trip
That's all AKI takes. No percentage. Compare to Uber and Lyft taking 25–35% off the top.

Smart tech. Real people. No dead time.
Uber gives you an app. Old-school car services give you a dispatcher. AKI gives you both.
Your night-before schedule, loaded automatically.
Trip details, optimized navigation, and earnings tracking — all in one place. Built for drivers, not riders.
Real humans filling your gaps in real time.
If there's a slow stretch, our dispatch team is already lining up your next trip. You're not waiting on an algorithm — you've got people on your side.
What you can earn.
Based on AKI driver earnings for 12-hour+ shifts. Your earnings depend on hours, route, and trip volume.
Six 12-hour shifts at the AKI driver baseline. Many drivers run five and still clear $2,000.
Numbers reflect typical AKI driver volume. Not guaranteed — your shifts and trip count matter.
Don't take our word for it.
Bring your TLC-licensed vehicle.
You bring the car. We bring the trips. AKI runs sedans, SUVs, and wheelchair-accessible vans — as long as it's TLC-plated and in good shape, you're ready to roll.
Sedans
The everyday workhorse. TLC-plated, clean, ready for steady volume.
SUVs
Higher-capacity rides for groups, mobility equipment, and Access-A-Ride trips.
Wheelchair-accessible vans
WAV-equipped vehicles get priority Access-A-Ride volume — strong, predictable earnings.
Built by people who've driven this city for 10+ years.
We know what it's like to grind 14-hour days hoping a surge kicks in. AKI is built different — pre-scheduled routes, flat fees, real dispatch support. Because drivers deserve a system that actually works for them.
What you need to drive with AKI.
Common questions.
How do I get paid?
Direct deposit, next-day or weekly — your choice.
Do I need my own car?
Yes. Drivers provide their own TLC-licensed vehicle — AKI doesn't operate a driver fleet. Sedans, SUVs, and wheelchair-accessible vans all qualify.
Do I need to pass a drug & alcohol test?
Yes. Because most AKI trips are Access-A-Ride, every driver passes a drug & alcohol test before their first shift. The test costs $50 and is paid by the driver.
What is Access-A-Ride?
NYC's paratransit service. AKI handles steady Access-A-Ride volume, which gives drivers a predictable, reliable trip flow as the foundation of every shift.
What's the $1.50 fee?
That's all AKI takes per trip. No percentage. No surge cuts. The rest is yours.
How many hours can I work?
You choose. We build your shifts around your availability.
