Our mission: Be the go-to market for shared travel

Our technology matches drivers with empty seats to passengers heading the same way. So they can share the cost of the trip.

We know that to be the go-to marketplace for shared travel, we need to combine carpooling with bus journeys from over 5,000 operators to offer a wider choice of affordable and sustainable travel solutions, all in one app.

Our tech moments

You know what we love best about tech? Sharing it! We meet and learn from each other through different tech rituals, like our Tech Demo presentation every Friday where we present new features and projects. And we have weekly and monthly team meetings in our Engineering teams to share progress on different topics. We also organize hackathons to bring innovation, stimulate creativity and just have a good time together!

What's more, we go to many tech conferences and expos all around the world and often join as speakers too.

"What I really enjoy is that it is a product that keeps improving. We are always launching new features, adding new travel modes"
Célia - Engineering Manager
