Long-Distance Ride:
Initially the BlaBlaCar service was introduced for long distance ride sharing. So, the person who is travelling long from one destination to another, he can list his ride on BlaBlaCar. If someone else also wants to travel to the same destination, he can also join your ride.
This service was working awesome and great for people on occasions of vacations and long weekends. People are highly preferring and using this service every now and then.
BlaBla Short Distance Ride:
The company was thinking of starting something new and bring some friction in the service which is all about the daily commutes. In this new feature and service, the BlaBlaLines draw a line between your home and work. The line is visible to the users with the app and the rider as well, so you can pick the people on your way to the office.
While you are signing up on the app, it asks you for your usual hours and routes as well. So, the app can automatically list all the rides for you on a daily basis. That’s something new the company has tried now to provide benefit to the users for short distance rides as well.
Ride Acceptance and Cancelation Policy:
Whenever you are on vacations or you are running late, you can simply cancel the ride and move away. Similarly, you can also change your rides. As far as the passengers are concerned, they can book a ride at the very last minute and reach the nearest stop to get picked up by the ride provider.
In the BlaBlaCar service the drivers are not required and supposed to go and pick someone from home. The rider is supposed to reach the nearest stop to get his ride. BlaBlaLines is a brand new app that only works on mobile. The company is also launching the iOS app today in addition to the Android app.
