CommuteSwap

CommuteSwap helps employees coordinate in-office days and rides so commuting is cheaper, simpler, and less chaotic. Teams set their office attendance rules (e.g., Tue-Thu preferred, max desk capacity) and the app suggests optimal in-office groupings based on who lives near whom and who can drive. It then forms small “ride pods” with clear pickup windows, cost-splitting, and backup options if someone cancels. Unlike generic carpool apps that struggle with trust and consistency, CommuteSwap is employer-verified: users join via a company domain or invite code, which reduces no-shows and safety concerns. It also provides HR/facilities a lightweight dashboard showing expected attendance and parking demand without tracking precise locations. Realistically, this works best for mid-to-large employers with hybrid work and recurring commute patterns; it’s not for ad-hoc citywide rides.
