Real-time and pre-matched ridesharing now available!
Have you ever stood in a busy airport, looked at the departure board, and thought, “this would be so much easier if I could just tap the plane I want to take to reserve my seat?”
Unfortunately, a simple tap on a departure board at the airport won’t get you a seat on a plane just yet, but it can get you a seat in someone’s car! Avego’s new “Ride Board” gives commuters another quick and easy way to arrange pre-scheduled or real-time carpools.
Riders can view Avego ridesharing activity in their area from their iPhone, Android or Windows phone, and book a ride with just a few taps. The Ride Board shows drivers who are currently en route, as well as scheduled trips in order of departure time, just like you’d expect to see at the airport.
When the rider selects a driver to match with, they can view driver details and select a convenient pick-up and drop-off point. Once the driver has accepted the request, the rider gets a PIN for authentication at the pick-up point. Easy, safe and convenient – just a little cooler than your average departure board.
The Avego Ride Board will be used in the California Real-Time Ridesharing programs in conjunction with the new Avego Shout app and Avego Driver, to ensure that both carpooling and ridesharing are made as easy and safe as possible for commuters.
The Avego Ride Board works with any web-enabled smartphone. For the best Ride Board experience check out rides in cities like Houston, San Francisco and Seattle in the USA. More and more cities will be rolling out in the coming months – try it out in your own area at m.avego.com.
