Zimride is pretty much an application that gathers and encourages people with the same destination to carpooling. It is essentially the Facebook of ride sharing. You sign up, you say whether or not you have a car or need a ride, then enter your location and destination. Google Maps will then chart out your path and list the people who live along the way, and you can go through their profiles, looking for carpool mates.
This app is available for university students, businesses, and events. It is a reliable source of transportation that is also ecologically friendly. It establishes relationships between people in the community both online and on a face-to-face basis. Zimride encourages community involvement as well as social activity, which is completely different than standing on the bus, listening to your iPod, alone, for an hour.
