80% of students at commuter schools drive to campus. Most of them drive alone. From the same neighborhoods. At the same time. Every single day.

Then they pay $200+ for a parking permit to fight over spots in a garage that fills up by 9 AM. And when they get to campus, they sit in class next to someone who lives 5 minutes from them and neither of them knows it.

That's the commuter school experience. You drive alone, you park alone, you eat lunch alone, and you go home alone. The campus wasn't designed for you to make friends — it was designed for people who live there.

We built Shotgun because we were those students. Driving 45 minutes each way from the same zip code as 200 other people in our classes, never once sharing a ride.

Shotgun matches you with students driving your route based on schedule and interests. No money changes hands. You just ride together, split gas if you want to, and actually meet people at your school.

Starting with a few campuses, expanding everywhere commuters are getting screwed by parking lots and loneliness.

If you commute to college, this is your community.
