The New Way to Rideshare
Piggyback is a service that bridges the gap between Ride-Sharing and Ride-Hailing by allowing people to reap the advantages of riding on a bus (Fixed Schedule) and riding in an Uber (Variable Schedule). Piggyback is different from other Ride-Sharing services because it gives people a reason to come together and form social groups that, then travel together. Current Ride-Sharing services have failed because they tend to group random strangers together for the sole purpose of transportation.
Redefining Social Mobility
Redefining 'Social Mobility' to spread the importance of Ride-sharing and differentiate from other ride-sharing services. Creating meaningful connections and interactions with people to form a number of inter-linked social circles that move/travel together.
Create or join Pools, chat with your friends and schedule Piggybacks together.
Pools are thematic groups created by you, the people. These can be location-based, activity-based, interest-based and so on. The creator of the Pool decides whether the Pool is Public or Private. Public Pools are visible to everyone and can be joined by anyone. Private Pools can be joined only through invites sent by the creator.
