Ride Sharing Carpool Invites

Waze Streamlines the Process for Carpool Drivers to Invite Riders

— August 5, 2019 — Tech
Waze is making it easier for carpool drivers to add multiple passengers. Waze has recently released an update to its Carpool platform where drivers can add multiple passengers faster than before. Now carpool drivers only have to go through a small number of clicks to add the passengers they would like to. By using these new features, users can save money on their commute by splitting transportation costs through the Waze Carpool app. This would also allow users the option of taking the HOV lane during a commute, which would save time.

The update allows users to confirm a ride and then tap the + icon to add passengers that are closest to the predetermined route.

Waze has stated that the prices of riders differ based on gas as well as car maintenance.
