Carpooling with friends has never been easier.

Inspiration

There's always difficulty in organizing rides in large groups.

As the driver, who do I pick up first? When should I let them know that I am nearby?

Joyride is our ride-sharing solution to these problems.

About

Joyride takes a start point, an end point, and three stop points. Given this data, Joyride uses the Google Maps API to calculate the most effecient route. This is done by calculating every possible route, and then returning the route that takes the least amount of time to complete. Joyride also allows you to text your friends when you've arrived at their house using the Twilio SMS API
