Kiwi carpooling app takes aim at Uber over Trump

New Zealand carpooling app Chariot urges locals to delete Uber app due to ride-hail company's alleged pro-Trump stance.

Chariot app users can set up rides with each other. These can be recurring, one-off short trips in the city, or long-haul intercity trips.

The launch of the ride sharing app is convenient in the wake of the Auckland bus strike, as commuters are encouraged to find alternative transport.
