Crewz is a new type of shared rides app that helps riders and drivers to easily save 50%+ of their time, money, and emissions, while meeting new friends and business contacts through curated carpools.

We do this through a unique combination of traditional carpooling and shared Uber/Lyft/taxi rides, and we're focused on partnering with event organizers.

2\. sign up as a driver\, and/or rider and/or Uber/Lyft/Taxi rideshare
3\. see others going to the same events or with similar trips $first name\, last initial\, other info optional$
4\. see others' LinkedIn $if connected$\, and see a fair price for sharing fuel/etc\. calculated based on distance
5\. message others\, if necessary
