Benefits

Fund your weekends

Save $3,000 annually - Shared fares slash the average ride‑hail bill by up to 40%, so your commute funds your weekend, not the other way around.

Commute with a community

Riding alongside classmates, coworkers, and neighbors transforms each trip from a solo slog into a friendly lift—networking built right into your daily route.

Control your spend, every trip

Enter the price that fits your budget and let drivers accept your rate —so you ride at a cost you've chosen, not one that's imposed.

Fair fares, zero awkwardness

The in‑app negotiate fare system handles the back‑and‑forth silently; you see an instant yes/no, no haggling in person, no second‑guessing.

Turn empty seats into extra income

Monetize miles you were already driving, earning $5,000–$7,000 each year to cover car payments, insurance, or that next getaway.

"I have always walked from off-campus student housing to my classes which used to get really hard/difficult during harsh weather. We were sometimes picked up and dropped off by our seniors who owned cars."

"My dad bought me a used Toyota but it was my responsibilty to take care of the maintenance and the fuel. These expenses hit my wallet hard. But in New York State, there's no way to avoid them."

"I work in downtown Boston and initially thought buying a car would be a cost-effective option. But I soon realized that the daily tolls, parking costs, fuel, and occasional parking fines added up quickly. I wish I had considered these expenses more carefully before making the purchase."
