Workryde: Carpool to Work

Parzo Tech

About this app

Workryde helps Nairobi commuters share scheduled trips with other people travelling along compatible routes. Confirm a work email, add your regular locations, then browse or host rides for the daily commute.

Plan a shared commute
- Browse public rides going your way
- Choose pickup and alighting stages along the route
- Post a scheduled ride with seats and a bounded per-seat contribution
- Coordinate accepted bookings through in-app chat
- Receive booking and trip notifications

During the trip
- Drivers can start an active trip and share their precise location with matched riders
- Riders can follow the active trip on a live map
- Drivers and riders confirm pickup in the app
- Bluetooth scanning may be used during a pickup window as supporting proximity evidence; it cannot confirm pickup on its own
- A user can create a booking-bound trip-following link and choose who receives it; anyone holding that link may view that trip while the booking remains active and the link is available

Profiles and vehicles
- Work-email confirmation is required; disposable and unsupported email domains may be rejected
- Users provide a name, phone number, home and work locations, and a signup selfie or profile image
- Drivers add vehicle details and activate the vehicle with a plate-visible photo before hosting rides
- Ratings and ride history help participants make informed choices

Payments
- Ride credits can be added through M-Pesa STK Push
- Booking and transaction records are shown in the app
- Driver earnings and payout requests are available, but payout processing remains subject to Workryde operations and provider readiness
- No surge pricing

Safety and control
- In-app chat keeps ride coordination in Workryde
- Users can save emergency contacts and use the SOS flow during a trip
- Trip links are user-created, expire automatically, and can be stopped in the app by revoking every active link for that booking
- Accounts can be deleted in the app or through https://workryde.com/delete-account; financial and safety records may be retained for the periods stated in the privacy policy

Workryde is a carpool coordination service, not a taxi or on-demand ride-hailing operator. Drivers offer seats on trips they are already making.

Launching in Nairobi, Kenya.
