Scoop: Plan great hybrid days for Pc

When I started using this app a year ago, there are not many people using in my neighborhood and I used to drive most of the times and always get a match but the deviation from my usual route used to be significant. So I stopped doing this app after 3 months.. but in early summer this year I started again and my office location is more closer than before and I’m getting matches on every ride and most of the times with two people.. love this app... it at least pays off for gas and insurance.. being part of reducing pollution and enjoying the ride instead of feeling bored...

The app has tremendously improved over the months. I like the notification part because at times with a busy schedule I might forget to book for a slot in a day. I like the aspect of meeting fellow commuters and learn about the various industries and my local area as well. Since most of the commuters are working at companies that drastically reduce the fear of commuting with a complete stranger. I have tried both driver and rider sides. As a driver I find the route matching reasonable but at times not desirable. I know folks from my own company who use the app for the similar route and the timings, but the app would still not match me with them. As a rider, the issue is when a driver cancels on you and that too just a few mins before the pick up or drop off time. The app should change the cancellation window policy giving enough time to find another ride and giving an option to change the time window to later for the same slot if there are drivers available. Also, being a parent I feel that the evening window can start at 3 pm so that parents can still use the service if they have kids to pick up from schools. Overall, the rate is very reasonable for my route and a lot better than any public transportation available in my area. Would highly recommend to use the app. It does the job well.

This app is a great idea of daily commute. However, they have just started and there is limited choices on what times you can choose and limited chances you can got matched up. Sometimes there is no shows which I believe is due to irresponsible drivers but they will give you 5 dollar credit for any no shows. Overall I love the app but I hope they can publish more time. My shift starts at 6 and ends at 2 but there is no car pool option at 2 :(. Also I believe some of us have weekend shifts so I hope we can get weekend carpooling too in the future. ---------Update------ It seems like the app is losing its users. I can not get carpool for the recent couple weeks or even if I got matched, the driver will cancel immediately for no reason. Once I got matched, I had another no show no call and I need to call Uber instead:(.

This app is definitely rider oriented. You get picked up at your house & for a modest fee dropped off at work. However it treats drivers as disposable. I have a 35 mins commute & the app will send me to someone 35 mins away from my house with another 40-45 minutes drive to the person’s work.. doubling my commute is just not sustainable. Riders cancel & drivers get nothing. Today one canceled at 4am for a 6am ride. I just have to drive empty. No way I can find someone in such short notice. I started not signing up because I feel the service i provide (I’m not a Uber driver , I’m a guy with a job & just a person trying to make a difference) is not valued & im exhausted from driving around. The $11 you get as a driver is no longer worth it especially when it adds an hour to your commute. It’s sad because I love the idea of taking cars off the road & meeting fellow professionals in my area.
