Hey, BlaBlaCar Daily engineer here. This still is an attempt we are running in France, now with thousands of trips happening every day. When did you use it? Perhaps if you give it another try you may find someone this time. :)

I also would love to hear your feedback. What do you think we should do to improve the experience of drivers and passengers, and to get more people to share their commute?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Glad to see it's still running.

For me it was just the lack of available drivers.

I put my commute which is fairly common around here, yet for the many weeks I didn't find a match.

Yeah, that's the biggest challenge, kickstarting specific regions. Oftentimes at first there are drivers but no passengers or vice-versa.

What you can do is set your commute and leave the app installed in the background. Others can send requests to you once they join or the app can eventually remind you that there are others along your route.
