Inspiration 🌟

A group of members in our local community struggled to find ways to commute to colleges from a nearby town 20 miles away. The distress from having to rely on ridiculously expensive ride booking apps and busy family members is daunting. That's why we created an eco-friendly rideshare app, exclusive to college students with our safe and secure authentication system, helping them find not only a carpool to school, but also long lasting friends along the way.
