Summary

RydeSplit is a carpooling app that aims to make transportation more sustainable, affordable, and comfortable by connecting drivers and passengers traveling in the same direction. The app allows users to schedule and manage future trips, splitting costs with fellow riders. RydeSplit was built using Bubble's no-code platform, which provided necessary elements, plugins, and integrations to bring the carpooling concept to life. With a background in software development, Calvin Kabanda and his team quickly prototyped their idea, partnering with construction companies before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Post-pandemic, RydeSplit plans to adapt to changing transportation needs, potentially limiting bookings for drivers. The app aims to address congestion and traffic issues while making transportation more accessible and affordable.
