BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading long-distance ridesharing platform – a global, trusted community of
drivers and passengers in 22 countries. The site and mobile apps connect people looking to travel long
distances with drivers going the same way, so they can travel together and share the cost.
Each passenger makes a fair contribution for their seat, and drivers cover their fuel and toll costs but do
not make a profit. The platform is engineered to create a secure, trust-based community with declared
identities and full member profiles.
Members can even specify how chatty they are from “Bla” to “BlaBlaBla”, hence the name BlaBlaCar.

Moovit offers real-time public transit information and GPS navigation across transit modes, including
buses, ferries, rapid transit (metro/subways/undergrounds, etc.), trains, trams, and trolleybuses.
Users can access a live map, and view nearby stops and stations based on their current GPS location, as
well as plan trips across transportation modes based on real-time data.
The application differs from traditional public transit applications as it is community-driven and integrates
official public transit data from transit operators with real-time data collected from users via
crowdsourcing.
In early 2015, Moovit became the first provider to create transit data for areas in which no data is officially
available (or where local transit agencies do not offer it to app developers) by creating a "community
editor" and allowing volunteer editors to generate schedule and map data to be loaded into the Moovit
app.
Moovit is available in more than 850 cities across 60 countries around the world including Barcelona,
Bogota, Cape Town, Istanbul, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Mexico D.F., New York, Paris, Rio de
