Xoose
Xoose matches commuters going similar directions so riders save money and drivers offset costs. The focus is reliability first—then scale—so people trust carpooling on workdays.
The problem
Carpooling fails when matches are late, routes do not align, and payment is awkward between strangers. Solo rideshare is expensive; fixed transit does not door-to-door. Environmental impact is invisible to users, so motivation fades.
How we solved it
We built route-similarity matching with time windows and detour tolerance users can tune. In-app payments split fares automatically with clear pricing before confirmation. Rating and completion history drive trust without exposing private addresses. Driver and rider verification steps reduce no-shows. Smart reminders align pickup buffers with traffic patterns where data exists. CO₂ savings estimates reward repeat shared trips without greenwashing. Dispute flows handle cancellations with fair fee rules.
