Ridesharing to the rescue of western Canada
There is no cheaper transportation option than ridesharing. Thousands of Canadians are already using it for their daily commutes and long distance trips cross-country. In addition to being cheaper, ridesharing is also often much faster than the bus. The flexibility of the meeting point and destination is another advantage for ridesharing users. Those who decide to travel with their car can also reduce travel expenses by taking passengers.
How ridesharing works
Ridesharing.com is a ridesharing platform without any registration fee that allows drivers to post a short or long distance ride and offer available seats to passengers. Long distance trips must be paid and booked online, just like a bus ticket! A feature also allows passengers to ask the driver a question before completing booking. Generally, questions are about luggage, flexibility of the meeting point or other similar items.
With regard to trust and safety, everything is in place to ensure that the experience is pleasant. Passengers can choose a driver based on the ratings and comments left by other passengers. When a driver provides a piece of I.D., his ride offer is posted with a green checkmark.
