Started in 1996, The Hub Connection was the brainchild of 2 transportation industry veterans who saw the need for a ground transportation clearing house in the New York marketplace. Ed Cleary and Kathi Markou came together with and idea for a call center to represent free market sedans and limousines that grew into a multi million dollar company within a year.

The Hub Connection's place in the NY metro black car market was assured when in 1997 they contracted with a major financial house to showcase the on demand lobby kiosk. Passengers could walk down to a lobby kiosk to order cars or see the status of their phone in orders.

With passenger expectations managed and proven cost savings techniques in hand, The Hub Connection went on to develop Sentinel™, a unique passenger and driver identification system for line up operations. Sentinel™ increased the safety and security of the passenger and driver by authenticating the driver and his eligibility status before the passenger enters the car.

The Hub Connection's Sentinel™ system eliminates fraud and billing abuse by the driver or traveler. The system allows companies to follow their employee's ride volume with greater ease. Currently, The Hub Connection is positioning itself in the international marketplace with The Sentinel™ system and global upscale limousine service.
