"Since so many people are already using Waze to get to work, why not help a fellow commuter heading in the same direction? That's what the Waze Carpool pilot is all about," according to Waze.Ī reporter from The Wall Street Journal tested the app recently, and was charged $6.30 for the trip but only paid a discounted fare of $3, part of a promotion schtick for the ride-sharing service's launch. Its sole purpose it to get more riders sitting beside Waze drivers, so there is less frustration over troublesome traffic and it gives commuters a cost-cutting option instead of more expensive alternatives. Waze rider seems more like an added convenience feature, not intended as a means for drivers to make bank out of. Google wants to pair a rider and a driver headed in the same destination to cut traffic, while Uber and Lyft operate more as an expansion of the business model of its individual ride-hailing services. In a way, these limitations make it different from its contemporaries Uber and Lyft.
