Car Pooling Is Here: Share a Ride, Save on Fare

Two people heading the same direction, one car — carpooling is the simplest way to make a ride cheaper and a city a little less congested. It's now live on RYDO.

How it works

1. When you book a regular ride, turn on "Share this ride to divide the fare" before you submit your price.
2. If a driver picks up another carpool rider heading your way, you'll still get your own driver, your own pickup, and your own drop-off — you're just sharing the car for part of the trip.
3. If someone actually joins, your fare is automatically reduced when the trip ends — no negotiating a split yourself. If nobody joins, you're simply charged your normal agreed price, same as any ride.

Why share a ride

• A real discount, not just a nice idea — your fare is cut automatically once a match happens.
• No risk if nobody joins — you only ever pay more than your original price if you change it yourself; the discount only ever lowers what you pay.
• Good for the city — fewer cars making the same trip separately.

Who it's for

Carpooling is available on regular rides only — not deliveries, intercity trips, or bike bookings, since there's no room for a second rider. It's entirely optional: leave the toggle off and your ride works exactly as it always has.

Try it next time you book — look for "Share this ride to divide the fare" right above the price field.
