Share the Ride.
Keep Moving.
Ride Share gives riders another way to request local transportation through Zipy Ride. When the Ride Share option is available, you can choose it in the app and submit your pickup and destination just like another ride request.
Ride Share availability depends on service area, participating providers, vehicle capacity and current ride demand.

Open Zipy Ride and enter where you want to be picked up.
Add Destination
Enter where you are going so the app has your requested route.
Select Ride Share
Choose the Ride Share category when it is shown as available.
Submit Request
Review the displayed trip information and send your transportation request.
Confirm Your Ride
Follow the request status and verify the driver and vehicle before boarding.
Ride Share Is Designed Around Shared Transportation
A standard private ride is requested for your party. Ride Share is intended for situations where transportation may be shared with other riders as supported by the service and participating provider.
Because a shared trip can involve other riders, pickup timing, available seating and the trip path may differ from a private ride. Always review the trip information shown in the app before submitting your request.
Shared Ride
- Choose Ride Share when available
- Designed for shared transportation
- Seat and vehicle availability can vary
- Pickup or route may reflect the shared service
Private Request
- Request a ride for your party
- Choose an available vehicle category
- Direct pickup and destination request
- Vehicle capacity varies by category
Ride Share Works Best When You Can Be Flexible
Shared transportation is generally a better fit when you are comfortable traveling with other riders and have some flexibility around pickup and trip timing.
If you need a specific vehicle, more luggage space, a private trip or a tightly controlled schedule, another Zipy Ride category may be a better fit.
- Check that Ride Share is available for your request
- Review the pickup and destination information
- Confirm the number of riders in your party
- Consider luggage and available vehicle space
- Review displayed trip information before submitting
- Verify the driver and vehicle before boarding
