In Singapore, ridesharing service helps commuters make new friends

MyRideBuddy carpooling service invites friends, neighbors, and colleagues match up and ride together. The site matches people with cars who are going in the same direction as those who need rides. It also matches ride partners for taxipooling so that they can take a taxi ride together. The goal is to build a community of like-minded people, in a green network, who feel good about contributing towards reducing traffic congestion and carbon footprint and connect with each other.
