CORIDE Carpooling Services
The CORIDE Platform provides carpooling services that help users connect for shared private vehicle rides on a common route and time. The Platform is intended only for private vehicles and is not a public transportation service or carrier.
12. Carpooling Service Terms
The CORIDE Carpooling Service is designed to help users discover and connect with other users traveling in the same direction. It is not a transportation carrier and does not itself provide transportation services. Users decide whether to offer or accept rides, and CORIDE plays a transient technological role in connecting them.
