## What it is
LibreTaxi is an open-source ridesharing proof-of-concept that connects passengers and drivers through a Telegram bot instead of a dedicated mobile app. It is written in Go and uses PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ for storage and message handling.

## Use cases
- run a free open-source Uber alternative
- connect riders and drivers via Telegram
- self-host a ridesharing service without a mobile app
- avoid ride-hailing commission fees
- operate a community rideshare board like Craigslist

## When to choose
- you want a commission-free, self-hosted ridesharing service
- your users already use Telegram
- you need a lightweight Craigslist-style rideshare matching tool

## When to avoid
- you need a polished production ride-hailing platform with payments and driver vetting
- you require native iOS/Android apps
- you need active development and support - the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: chatbot, message-queue, webhook
- domain: messaging-platforms, self-hosted
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: ridesharing, uber-alternative, telegram-bot, peer-to-peer, transportation, telegram, docker, linux
