Ridematching
Welcome to HfxRidematch.ca. It’s a simple way to
find friends, classmates and coworkers going your
way. Our online ridematching system makes it easy
to share seats or to catch a ride. Just about anyone
can carpool - the distance of your commute doesn’t
matter, as long as the pickup and drop off points are
agreed upon.
The system matches people based on proximity to
origin and destination points and travel route as
well as similar working hours and compatible
carpooling preferences.
HfxRidematch.ca is FREE to use. It's secure. It's easy.
It's fast.
Register now!
A confidential matchlist is returned instantly when
you search for carpool partners. No personal
information is released to potential matches. Simply email the individuals on your matchlist and then it's up to you to discuss the arrangements so that your new carpool will work for you!
