Why I built a carpooling community for college students
Here's a reality most students deal with: you need to get somewhere, gas is expensive, and your car sits empty half the time.
Meanwhile, another student is going the exact same direction, scrolling through overpriced Uber estimates.
DrivingBuddy fixes this. It's dead simple — drivers post their upcoming rides with empty seats, riders claim them, and everyone saves money.
Why it works for students specifically:
Same campus, same events, same routes — high match rate
Tight budgets mean even $3-5 savings per ride adds up fast
You actually meet people (unlike sitting in silence in an Uber)
We're building this community one campus at a time. If you're a student who drives or needs rides, this is for you.
$4.99/month gets you into the community where all the ride matching happens. That's literally one coffee.
