Carpools with classmates
Drivers post open seats and an optional gas-and-toll share. Riders pay drivers directly. Drivers build a star rating as they go.
Rides home for break
Someone from your school is going your way.
Carpools with classmates, school shuttles, and shared trips to the train station or airport, all in one place and matched for the busiest days of every break.
Only students verified with your school’s email. No school IT integration needed.

Example board. Riders see regions, not addresses, until both sides confirm a match.
The week before every break
Getting home shouldn’t take a group-chat search party.
Rides are out there. They’re just scattered across posts, chats and spreadsheets, and they all fill up on the same two days.
- ✕Ride posts buried in group chatsOffers scroll away before the people who need them see them.
- ✕Shuttle sign-ups on a separate formStudents don’t know a bus exists until it’s full.
- ✕Riding with strangers from the internetNo way to know the driver actually goes to your school.
- ✕Staff guessing at demandBuses get booked on last year’s hunch, not this year’s numbers.
How it works
From “anyone going to Philly?” to a confirmed seat.
Verify with your school email
Sign in with a link sent to your .edu address. Everyone you see is a student at your school.
Post where you’re headed
Offer seats in your car or ask for a ride. Pick your region and the day you want to leave.
Match, confirm, go
Got a Seat? lines up drivers and riders going the same way. Names and contact details unlock only after you both confirm.
Every way home, one board
Carpools, shuttles and shared trips, side by side.
School shuttles
Reserve a seat on the buses your school runs to stations and airports, with a waitlist when they fill.
Shared legs to hubs
Split the trip to the train station or airport with others catching a train or flight around the same time.
Coming nextSafety and privacy
Built for riding with people you’ll see in class on Monday.
Every account is tied to a school email, nothing personal is shown until both people say yes, and trip data doesn’t outlive the break.
- Students onlySign-in requires your school email, so every rider and driver is verified.
- Regions, not addressesOthers see “Philadelphia area,” never your street, until you both confirm.
- Message in the appCoordinate pickup without handing out your number.
- Block and reportReports go to a staff review queue. Blocked students never see you again.
- Driver ratingsRiders rate drivers after each trip, so good drivers stand out.
- Deleted after each breakTrip data is purged once the break is over. Each school’s data is kept separate.
