BlablaCar

edit

BlablaCar is a new, community-based, travel service. Of course, we could call it a carpooling platform or a ridesharing website, but we really think of it as a new, social, low cost and environmentally friendly way to travel and we hope you will find it useful! The service, known as Covoiturage.fr in France, has been a phenomenal success amongst drivers and passengers alike who are frustrated at disruptions to air and rail transport and hard hit by increasing petrol prices and rising public transport costs. The site, founded in 2006, now has over one million drivers and passengers and is growing by over 50,000 users every month.
