Campus-only Student Ride Sharing
Theme
Save on travel costs, make friends, and get around campus smarter — rides booked by students, for students.
Problem
Many students waste a great deal of time and money on transportation: daily commutes, round-trip travel between campus sites, and the occasional taxi ride to an event all add up. Public transit is slow or roundabout, taxis are expensive, and ride-share apps in general aren't built for campus schedules or student budgets.
Solution
CampusRide is a secure, user-friendly ride-sharing platform for students in your university alone. Students list seats for frequent rides or occasional trips (classes, labs, events), riders search by route and time, and matches are made on convenience, availability, and cost-sharing. Cars and bikes are accommodated, in-app messaging, safety verifications (university email verification), and fast payment splitting are included.
Major Features
Route-based matching for frequent commutes and one-off trips
Schedule & repeat-ride options (daily commute, weekly labs)
Cost-splitting within the app and voluntary cashless payments
Verification of profiles through university credentials and easy ratings
Event-mode for single large events (sports, concerts, orientation)
Target Users
Commuting undergraduate and graduate students who live off-campus or ride between different campus locations. Suitable for those with cars who want to save money and for riders looking for cheaper, quicker alternatives.
MVP / How to Validate (Idea --> Measure --> Learn)
MVP
A minimal web or mobile app for posting rides, searching by route/time, and verifying matches (start on one campus).
Measure
Rides posted, verified rides/matches per week, repeat users, avg cost saved per rider.
Try and find out whether students prefer daily scheduled commutes or event/one-off sharing. If daily commutes are the norm, highlight repeating-ride scheduling and driver rewards; if events are more common, highlight event-mode and discovery.
CampusRide is cost-saving, more convenient, and it encourages community and it's safer and more relevant than ride apps in general because it's limited to authenticated campus members.
