Connecting people who need to travel with drivers who have empty seats
By connecting drivers with people who want to go the same way, BlaBlaCar aims to make road travel cheaper, more sustainable and super-social. While ridesharing is not a new concept, it has helped to change long-distance travel in France. There is no denying that since then Mazella has brought the reinvention of a new transport network – built on people and trust – into the mainstream. Today it’s the world’s leading ridesharing community, with over 30 million members in 22 countries across Europe to Mexico and India.
