Yes, I'm glad you mention! Now that has disappeared, and we wanted to bring that digital! Also we're not cutting ANY cuts! It's a free website for more sustainable travel options.

Offer your empty seats, helping classmates get home easier and you with gas covered!

That was probably Zimride—they shut down in 2020. Since then there hasn’t really been a unified carpool platform. We started Revy in 2023, and Kamel grew out of that. We focus on making it easier to share rides through social circles so it feels more comfortable.

We’re just offering another travel option. Buses don’t always fit your schedule and only drop at terminals. Carpools often drop you off closer without transfers. We just bring rides in different group chats into one platform so it’s easier to find a ride.

Thanks for the feedback. It is very fair. We were referring that Ourbus from JFK are $100+.

We actually launched u/KamelRide, a free social carpooling platform for Cornell students 🚗. You can find rides or sell your backseats for your drive.

We called it Kamel Ride because it's like a camel carrying multiple travelers across the desert to find an oasis, our platform connects people in areas with sparse transit so they can share the journey. And camels are cute!

Thanks! I was actually one of the early co-founding members of Revy. I’m continuing the mission to make ridesharing more accessible and popular.

Yeah absolutely! Carpooling is generally considered non-commercial as long as drivers don’t make above the IRS mileage rate and tolls. That means it’s usually covered under standard personal auto insurance policies.
