I’m coming home, City-to-city, justGO CarPooling connects people looking for a ride home, with safe drivers who’re going their way.

Whether they’re driving or looking for a ride, the answers to these questions – and more that anxious parents might be asking – is the same: justGO CarPooling.

JustGO, a well-known online bus and flight ticket sales service founded in 2016, recently launched a special CarPooling service. Using an online booking platform on which drivers can post their availability for inter-city travel, JustGO CarPooling now connects drivers and passengers along city-to-city routes in Cape Town, Johannesburg, the Eastern Cape, KZN, and throughout South Africa.

Making the connection
Drivers register online on the justGO LiftOffer system, and upload the details of their upcoming trips at no charge. And passengers will immediately be able to see the range of trips on offer along all routes, using the justGO website and app.

“Our goal is to put drivers travelling to a given destination in contact with passengers going in the same direction, to enable them to share the trip and costs,” says justGO Business Unit Manager, Elmie Venter. “justGO offers a practical, convenient solution that is South African-owned, environment- and pocket-friendly, and even fun. Getting home with justGO really can be about the friends you make along the way – with the convenience and security of an electronic ticket on your phone.”

justGO CarPooling solves some of the greatest hurdles in informal ride sharing, including:
● Having to post or find offers on physical noticeboards
● Struggling to find ride offers or paying passengers on time
● The confusion and unrelated demands common on social media message boards
● Missed communication between drivers and passengers
● The dangers of unlicensed vehicles or drivers
● Uncertainty and distrust
● Issues securing or making payments

So let’s make it easy: justGO.

Five reasons to justGO

Carpool safely
Both passengers and drivers share their contact and ID information with justGO. Drivers need to be older than 21 and have a professional driver’s licence to offer a carpool ride. Both the driver and their car need to be fully licensed. The driver and vehicle are linked through their ID number and registration, and the journey can’t be passed on to a third party. And for ultimate peace of mind, justGO includes Accidental Death Cover for each paying passenger, as well as vehicle tracking.

justGO now or later
justGO allows passengers and drivers to plan their journeys and make connections as far as six months in advance, or with as little as 24 hours notice for those moments when you just have to make a plan.

Pay your way or get paid
Whether you have empty seats in your car that could cut the cost of your trip, or you’re looking for a ride at a great price, JustGO CarPooling keeps the money side safe and simple.
The app allows passengers to pay in a variety of convenient ways including Capitec Pay, EFT, credit or debit card, EasyPay, Mobicred, and NSFAS funds using Cellbux vouchers. For inter-city drivers, that means no chasing after people to collect ride money. It’s all handled through the app.

The best price
justGO is more than just carpooling. The justGO app and website allows travellers in Southern Africa to find and compare routes and price offers from all licensed inter-city transport service options – including carpooling, bus services and airlines including Flysafair – from all major travel operators, so you always get the best deal. And however you choose to travel, what you see is what you pay with justGO.

All-in-one travel
justGO users can plan journeys, book and pay for these services, and receive tickets and proof of payment, all through one platform with dedicated customer service. Whether you’re a nervous first-time traveller or an experienced globetrotter, that’s peace of mind.

So at the start and end of term, or whenever there’s a need, you can tell the people back home you’re on your way, with justGO carpooling.
