Solo commuting costs double?

What people are saying

“Solo double yearly here. I need flexible matching with backup flows.”

2. What exists

Waze Carpool, employer boards and groups match riders, while solo wins. Services shut down notably. A board might sit empty. There is little help with route-flexible matching plus backup flows for commuters.

The solution could be a ride-shared engine. It could match routes flexibly simply. It could rotate driving fairly. Backup options could cover flakes. The goal would be halved costs, social miles.
