CommunityRide is an app that enables seamless connections between friends and colleagues etc to commute conveniently together to and fro work especially at rush-hours.

No. CommunityRide is not a taxi service. It is a social aggregator that brings people together with the purpose of sharing rides for the benefits of both the drivers and riders (car-owners and non-car owners). There is also a much bigger benefit to the larger society as the app will help with the reduction of traffic congestions during rush-hours and as well reduce the carbon emissions to the atmosphere from cars plying the city roads.

The app facilitates the convergence of people that share the same interests and likes. It provides in-built features that enable these people to connect and commute together as a group during rush-hours.

CommunityRide serves everyone i.e anyone that have need to move from one location to another can sign-up and use the app but it has special interest on workers that commute to and fro work at rush-hours on a daily.

Connections on the app means friends, colleagues, neighbours etc that have the same dynamics like same route to work etc to connect and share rides for each other’s benefits.

Users are identified in two categories i.e The Drivers and The Riders. Both drivers and riders can connect with themselves to share rides on the app.

Drivers are Car Owners that registered on the app to take fellow car-owners and also non-car owners (riders) on rides as they connect.

Riders are non-car owners that registered on the app to join car-owners they connected with on rides.

Drivers on the app will have following as benefits and more:

• Additional source of income.
• Security as regards the identity of riders that join them in their cars
• A community that engenders love, peace, networking, purpose etc.
• A reward system that will totally change the lives of the drivers.
• Opportunity to play a role in safeguarding our climate/environment.

PointsBank is a feature on the app where all the points accumulated by users are stored. It is a treasure pot that users must unlock to explore a whole new world of goodies.

Every ride/trip on the app comes with points for drivers except for the rides that the drivers opted for fares. Points are calculated by both the kilometres covered and time spent on ride.

No. Payments or charges for rides on the app are only applicable for those rides/trips that the drivers opted for Fares in place of Points.
