I want to create a platform to connect people that commute to common destinations. Here's data related to commute times and mode of transportation. A whopping 77.2% of people reported driving alone!

My idea works as follows:

  • You sign up to drive to a common destination. Think of the Galleria Area, Energy Corridor, Downtown, University of Houston.
  • People join your "ride" and once completed, you receive a ride token for every person that rode with you.
    • Tokens are exchangeable for toll road credit, parking credit or the possibility to transfer/sell to other users.

I've seen this company present a few times, seems kind of like what you are looking to do - https://rideamigos.com/

Maybe their website will provide you some additional ideas
