How GoMyWay.com Connects Passengers with Drivers

Co-Creation Hub (Cc-Hub) has revealed how GoMyWay, one of the startups it supports connects passengers with drivers who have spare seats to share.

GoMyWay is a ride sharing solution for trips within a city and trips across the country.

The GoMyWay team, according to an email sent to Nigeria CommunicationsWeek by Cc-Hub, has worked tirelessly to put the platform together and since its launch about two weeks ago, they have been working hard on acquiring users, ride offers and spreading the #rideshare “gospel”.

Currently, GoMyWay needs feedback on the platform and around the idea itself.

Some Of The Features;

Price Control
When you offer a ride, the platform calculates a recommended price based on the “GoMyWay formula” which takes into account fuel cost and distance.

Opportunities to Negotiate
Ride owners are free to charge lesser or higher than the recommended price. However, there’s a maximum limit as the service was not built for profit-making ventures or taxi services.

Verifications
There are 4 verification levels in place. The higher the verification level, the more likely it is that people will share a ride with that member.

Car Preference
Members can set their car preferences (e.g no smoking) so others know what to expect.

Ratings
After a ride, you can leave ratings and reviews on your co-travelers profile page.

SMS Notification
Members get notified of activities on their profile or messages from other members by email and more importantly, SMS.

“Dedication, love and a vision to build a people-powered transport network in Africa went into building this. So please take a few minutes to check out the website, sign up to explore the platform and possibly offer/join a ride to fully enjoy the experience. Together, let's build a movement that we can all be proud of,” the Team used potential users.
