A social network that allows you to connect with others who are traveling in your direction and are looking to share a ride. Once a user creates a profile, they can begin searching for matches to share a ride with. Matched users need to mutually agree in order for a match to be finalized. Additionally, each user has to make a health attestation that ensures that to the best of their knowledge, they’re not putting their Ride Pal at risk. Once the health hurdle is cleared, users can now chat with each other, and the first person to initiate the match can proceed to book the ride. User profiles track the accumulated carbon offsets from past shared rides, and our hope is to allow users to eventually cash these credits in for some rewards.
In this current version, given certain limitations, the user who books the ride will need to include their destination as well as their match’s destination in order to complete the full booked ride in their ride hailing app of choice. Fare splitting is also currently facilitated in the ride hailing app of choice.
Find a match, start a conversation, share your ride and help offset some CO2 emissions while you’re at it! Currently supports sharing rides with Uber and Lyft.
