NEW RIDESHARE FEATURE: BOOKINGS

WeGoers have been clamoring for an advanced booking feature just like this. Now, you can start ridesharing with more confidence knowing that you’ve already booked your ride home later in the day or week. The app will even remind you about your upcoming booked rides beforehand! So go ahead, book a ride today and tell us what you think.

Check out these how-to’s from the Avego team:

I don’t commute. Or do I…?

What does the word “commute” mean to you?

The World Dictionary online says it means: “to travel some distance regularly between one’s home and one’s place of work.”

Commuter transportation wonks use this definition 99% of the time to refer to the traveling that most of us do to get to and from work. But after years of working in the transportation field across the country, I’ve learned that not everyone thinks of their “commute” this way.

What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.

A great article from our friends at Work Petaluma. The WeGo Team recently used this space for a mini-retreat to dream about the future of ridesharing. If you haven’t already, check it out this awesome shared workspace right here in Sonoma County! Looks like the folks at Work share our vision for improving life by choosing to drive alone less and share more.

What’s on your list of life goals? Spend more time with family, save money, create a more satisfying career? For years my husband spent way too much time on the road commuting to offices all over the Bay Area. It’s hard to be home in time for dinner when you’re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, again!
Then one day we stopped to add it up: One day of commuting to San Francisco = 
2-3 hours of lost time (out of an already too busy day) 
$44 of gas and auto maintenance ($0.555/mile - IRS reimbursement) 
$6 bridge toll 
$20 parking fee
Multiply that by four days a week and in one month you’re talking 40 hours of lost time and over $1,000 in car costs! WOW! -The Trust Cost of Commuting

Are we evil for driving… or just plain goofy? We wonder what the cartoonist thought car culture would be like in the future?

Thanks for sharing this Mobility Lab!
