Skedaddle has been around for a few years but this is the first time it's launched an app. In addition to the app the service has been updated. For those who don't know, the Skedaddle app allows you to book group bus transportation, either with a group of friends or strangers who are also on the same route. Users can create new routes, and if a minimum of 10 people join the ride (10 people is the minimum amount required) then the route creator rides free. The Skedaddle app can be used for getaways to vacation spots, hiking trails, or the beach. The idea is to give people another way to get out of the city that doesn't involve renting a car or booking a flight or train. The Skedaddle app is out now for both iOS and Android. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Group Bus Transportation:** Offer group transportation services for leisure activities - **Mobile Booking Apps:** Develop new mobile apps for booking group transportation services - **Collaborative Transportation Models:** Develop collaborative models where users can join and create routes for group transportation services ### Where This Applies - **Travel & Tourism:** Include group bus transportation options for travel packages and make them more accessible with mobile booking apps - **Social Networks:** Integrate collaborative transportation models into social network platforms to create exclusive communities for shared interests and destinations - **Ride-sharing Services:** Partner with group transportation apps to expand transportation options and provide more environmentally-friendly ride-sharing options ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Car Transfer Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daytrip-app.md) - [Comprehensive Travel Navigation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destination-app.md) - [Curated Flight Deal Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-going-app.md) - [Detailed Travel-Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80daysme.md) - [Travel Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-trip-1.md) - [All-In-One Travel Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saathi-app.md) - [Winter Sport Rideshare Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-ski.md) - [Backpacker-Connecting Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotravel.md) - [Group Trip Travel Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/videobased-travel-planning-platform.md)
