    Zimride.com - A Carpool Community

    Zimride is a provider of online social rideshare services. Using it you can find a carpooling match anywhere within the territory of the US.

    The platform combines social networking elements with Google Maps technology and a ride matching algorithm that has been developed by the company.



    An account can be created for free, and a search tool will let you find a ride for any purpose – regular commutes and one-time trips are fully accounted for along with cab shares.

    Moreover, the site includes a series of programs and plans that cater for different contexts. For instance, they go by names like “University Carpool Edition” and “Corporate Carpool Edition”. There is also a service that makes for event & venue integration that will be of great help to venues and coordinators of events.

    The aim of such a system is clearly to modify and reshape the way we approach transportation and create a more efficient system for all concerned parties. The site has grown exponentially ever since it went live, and if you want to give it a try chances are you will find the service compelling.
