Need a ride? App for Dubai?

The car with a furry, hot pink mustache may be ok for San Francisco's streets, but may be a bit much for Dubai.

However, the 'carstache' is the trademark of Lyft, a ride-sharing app popular with users who rely on it to get home from work.

It's an alternative to regular taxis, with pre-screened citizen drivers.

And while getting a taxi in Dubai easily is increasingly becoming a frustrating proposition, an App like this may be just what the emirate is looking for.

The app in 'Cisco suggests a 13 dollar donation - instead of a fare in the video here.

For those looking for a more professional service, there's an app for that, too. Chauffeurs with black sedans or limousines.

No money changes hands and everything is paid for through the app, with prices based on distance and demand.
