Discover people on your route, group message, competitions and much more…
Have you always wanted to see who can give you a ride from your office to yoga after work and get rid of all that other noise? Or do you have a group of flexible carpoolers and you want to message just them to see who’s riding and driving today? Guess what? We’ve got an app for that!
The new Avego Groups allow you to create or join groups in your area, gather people together with similar interests and commutes and message everyone in that community.
GATHER: Easily create a group of people who commute the same direction as you
COMPETE: Use the Group Leaderboard to see who is sharing the most rides within your group
MESSAGE: Send a Group Message to coordinate shared rides (don’t worry, managing what notifications you receive is easy!)
A lot has changed over the past number of months in Avego: we’ve introduced new searches, scheduled trips, messaging, and real-time notifications. And during that time we’ve been learning so much more about what you want and what you need to make your shared real-time commute easy, fast and even, dare I say it, fun! Avego Groups is the latest step… and there is much more to come!
All of our Real-Time Ridesharing (RTR) communities around the globe have different needs – some want something smart and fun to promote at work, some have early or late commute hours and want to create an “Early Birds Community” and some wanted to be able to compete with each other and reward those who shared the most trips. Avego Groups covers all of these bases.
Quick Tips for Avego Groups
- Create the group on your phone at the location of your community (a work center, for example), as this will ensure your group is suggested to potential group members nearby.
- Make sure you search for similar groups in your area before creating a new one
- Create groups as small as the carpoolers you most typically share between (4-6 people), and larger groups for all the people that work at your workplace, allowing messages to be rapidly sent between all members.
- Interested in setting up a Schoolpool group for your community school? No Problem. A group for people getting organized for the Bon Jovi concert? Yeah, but watch out for my grandmother. No drinking and driving, Grandma!
- Join as many groups as you like!
