| − | RideBoard
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A centralized scheduler for rides. You can use the RideBoard to announce your ride needs, or travel plans. When you're driving somewhere, you can inform people in your social network. They can then ask you to pick them up so that you may share rides. You can also announce events on the RideBoard. Other people can ask for a ride to that event from you or from other people in their community.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | My Community
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An automatically generated list of people from your entire social network. Your Community also includes people who are in your friends' communities. This gives you more options to share rides. You can manage your community by blocking people. You can also block their entire network.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | RideMode
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you're in a ride, RideConnect goes into RideMode. Here, it shows you the route, how long until the person who's driving you will show up, how long it will take to get to the destination, and details of the person. RideMode also has a walkie-talkie that you can use for Push-To-Talk with the person who's sharing rides with you. RideMode lets you launch navigation so that when you're driving, you don't have to look at the phone all the time.

| − | WARNING
| + | |
| − | -------
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Do not use RideConnect in places where such services are illegal. RideConnect is not a taxi service. When giving people a ride, do not handle your phone and drive at the same time, this is dangerous. RideConnect is inherently private. The only way people can get onto your Community is if you add them outside the app. You are responsible for who is a part of your community. You can manage your community by removing people from your phone book, or unfriending them on Facebook. You can also block people within the My Community screen in RideConnect and this will prevent them from sharing rides with you. Be safe. Drive safe. Ride safe.

| − | Examples
| + | |
| − | --------------
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1. Students - Share rides to class, local restaurants and bars, campus events or simply to hang out with your friends. Create a post with your plans. Other students that you're connected to can see it. They can either ask you for a ride, or offer you a ride when they're going out. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. Road Trips - Inform your community of your plans to drive on a long distance trip. Accept ride offers from other who might be going that way, or offer a ride to people who have also indicated that they are interested.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. Families - Securely share rides among your family members. Use the blocking features in the My Community screen to ensure that only your family members are able to share rides with you. Post the time when you're done with work, or when school gets out so that you can better coordinate pick ups, drop offs and general coordination between everyone in your family.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 4. Corporate Carpools - Once your employees have installed RideConnect, create a group for your company (BETA feature). When all your employees use the same group code, they can share rides with one another even if they're not connected directly.

| − | That's it. Start ride sharing.
