The goal is to bring the speed and usability of the transport as close as possible when using our own vehicle. Users appear in the system in two roles - as a passenger and as a driver. The driver was willing to share the vacant seats in his car, and the passenger had to route the system through those seats in a number of public transports to the rail destinations. The ideal user uses both roles. For interaction between passenger and driver is by smartphone application... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
