A few other similar services http://libretaxi.org most of it open source except dependency on telegram http://www.twogo.com by SAP

For young adults hopskipdrive.com ridezum.com zemcar.com

One thing to note is that there are two apps you need from waze.The waze app is for driver of the carpool.Carpool app is for the rider.

Offtopic: that first sentence sounds very weird, I think your syntax got messed up. Use two enters to get a blank line in between. You can't do something on the next line (this is not real markdown). See: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

This was extremely confusing for me. Why not have both driver and rider in Waze Carpool app...? Or is it for future integration?

I apologize for missing scoop, even though I am regular user of it.

To add to the list and hopefully make it more complete

Scoop : http://takescoop.com

Lyft Shuttle[In beta] : http://lyft.com/shuttle

Uber ExpressPool : https://www.uber.com/ride/express-pool/

I think the ridesharing businesses are making a real difference in optimizing cars usage and helping the environment in the process.
