Diallo was hesitant to provide details about the Swift app before it launches, but he says the goal will be to route profits back to the drivers.

As early as this month, instead of petitioning Uber and Lyft, the group plans to launch its own ride-hailing app to compete with them.

The group has been working with a development company for about a year to design and produce the app, which the group currently calls “Swift.”
