Ridewith released by Waze is an application that supports car sharing among users, and it is an application that connects users who want to join together and users who want to provide a partner if they say easily. You can check the driver's profile in advance by registering the place and time to get on and off the bus one day before the day the user wishes to join in the application, and receiving notification when matching.


However, if you share in Ridewith you will need to pay the driver. The price is set by the user riding freely and the driver decides whether or not the price will be accepted, and payment can be done within Ridewith. In addition, because only one person can go sharing with one driver, up to 2 times of riding going up to 2 times a day, the driver can not make a mistake like a taxi in a form like a taxi.


ReutersAccording to the known car sharing service rather than car sharing "Uber"Although I have bought a lot of antipathy from the taxi industry, Ridewith, which adopts a mechanism that the driver does not have anymore, said that they will not be rebounded by the taxi industry. Waze cited congestion reduction of commuting rush, energy saving, environmental conservation as the purpose of application development, and this is one reason why we introduced a mechanism that drivers can not afford.

Waze started Ridewith 's test in Tel Aviv, Israel with its company. Ridewith's product page has already appeared on Google Play, but currently you can not use it in Japan even if you install the application.
