Traveling together: Ridesharing as a solution to commuting problems

We have to think for a moment.

There are many things which bring more joy with company. Cooking, walking and traveling are just come off-the-cuff examples. And driving. Time goes by much faster when you drive together. We can chat, sing songs together and we always have someone to hand us coffee.

Why do so many people still commute alone?

Working together sounds practical. Not just from a fun perspective, but also from a serious one. We're talking about traffic jams , pollution and long commute perspectives.

One of the main causes of these problems is the inefficient utilization of cars. During rush hour they are occupied by just 1.2 people. It wouldn't be that difficult to get together as commuters. This works, for example, via Ridesharing in the uRyde app.

More than just a carpool

Ridesharing, i.e. sharing trips with others, not only offers an environmentally friendly alternative to commuting alone, but also a social opportunity to meet new people and share costs. In the uRyde app you can simply enter your destination and see whether trips are offered to it. This way you can find passengers with whom you can not only share the journey, but also interesting conversations.

Why ridesharing makes sense:

1. Environmental friendliness: Fewer cars on the road means less traffic jams and less pollution. By sharing rides, we reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to environmental protection.

2. Cost Savings: Commuting can be expensive, especially if you're alone in the car. With ridesharing, you share the costs of gasoline, parking fees and wear and tear on the vehicle. This not only saves money, but also makes commuting more economical.

3. Social benefits: Sharing rides offers the opportunity to make social contacts. New acquaintances can emerge during the journey. This not only makes the commute to work more pleasant, but also expands your social network.
