You know who is in the car before you get in.
A phone, proved on WhatsApp
Everybody who posts a trip, asks for a seat or writes has proved their number.
Reviews from the whole car
Everybody rates everybody else afterwards. Nothing shows until both have answered.
You talk before you travel
Requests go through a chat, so you decide who you share a car with.
Free, all of it
No fee, no subscription, no credits. You settle the share between yourselves.
Questions
Is AlsoGoing free?
Yes, all of it. No fee, no subscription, no credits, and no money passes through AlsoGoing. What a seat is worth, if anything, is agreed between you and the other traveller.
Is this a taxi app, like PickMe or Uber?
No. Nobody on AlsoGoing drives for a fare. It's other travellers who are already going your way, in their own car, van or tuk-tuk, with a free seat to share.
How do I find someone going the same way?
Search a route and a date on the rides page. Anyone who has already posted that trip shows up there, and you message them in the chat to agree on where and when to meet.
Do I need an account to look?
No. Browsing trips needs nothing. You'll only need to sign in to message someone or post a trip of your own.
What if nobody answers my request?
Give it a couple of days. People here are often on buses with no signal for hours. If nobody answers, you're free to ask again or try another trip.
Is it safe to travel with someone I met on AlsoGoing?
Everyone who messages or posts a trip has a phone number verified over WhatsApp. After a trip, travellers can rate each other, and a rating only shows once enough people have answered for it to mean something.
Going somewhere soon?
Post the trip and let people find you, or answer someone already on the road.
