OVERVIEW
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.
THE SOLUTION
- 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.
