Ride sharing has been a success in many countries with stringent legal requirements over transport services, most notably Germany.

While we have found no precedent case. It is assumed that if a person is providing a service in exchange for a contribution towards the expenses, i.e petrol, that they are considered as a normal passenger in the vehicle. And therefore special licenses are not required

We note that with similar services like Trademe or eBay the onus has not been set by government for the members of the service to prove in what capacity they are trading. We therefore provide our service on a open basis.

With sustainability becoming more and more a focus we believe any initiative that increases the number of passengers in vehicles is a positive contribution to the community
