Wunder carpooling platform launched in Delhi


Wunder carpool

Wunder, the carpooling service platform is now live in New Delhi. Founded in 2013, the German based ride-sharing platform started carpooling service in Philippines last year and has now expanded to India with New Delhi. Available on Android and iOS, the app connects car owners and commuters.

Wunder Carpool connects people who are traveling in the same direction. It reminds everyone of upcoming carpools and notifies passengers of approaching drivers. Passengers schedule when they want to leave for work and the app automatically calculates carpool matches for the next several days and confirms a fixed price. Drivers are presented with carpool requests and they have the option to accept or skip. The service currently accepts payment only in cash. Wunder claims there is no surge pricing for the service. There is also a public profile that includes a member’s trip history, ratings as well as comments from fellow carpoolers.

Sam Baker, COO of Wunder said in a statement,

Wunder learned in our research that while 92% of car owners would be comfortable sharing seats on the way to work only 32% knew someone who travelled in the same direction, at the same time as them. A perfect opportunity to use technology to connect people. Wunder is looking forward to working with residents of New Delhi to take cars off the road. Building a community-organized solution to traffic takes time. We ask for patience and persistence among Wunder pioneers while we build a critical mass of commuters in the city.
