Genuinely a cool app

Splitting costs through BearPool has already saved me more than a few Ubers. For a broke college student trying to get to from SF back to Berkeley, it’s incredibly convenient . Highly recommend to any Berkeley student/resident who travels even semi regularly

Finally!

Love the app and how easy it is to find others to split rides with in Berkeley. Not tryna pay $100 to go to SFO.

My friends ditched me for cal day and i needed a ride to Palo Alto. Bear pool helped me find some students also going to the Kappa theta delta party!!

The app is obviously vibe coded

Uber already has this feature but it’s nice to be able to connect with other students but for safety reasons it’s hard to trust the integrity of an app that’s vibe coded

BEST APP EVER

As a college student, it’s honestly one of the most useful apps I’ve downloaded. It’s way cheaper than Uber, and I feel a lot safer knowing everyone on the ride is a Berkeley student. Posting or joining a ride takes a few seconds, and the group chat makes coordinating super easy. I also appreciate the gender preference option — it makes the whole experience more comfortable. Overall, it’s affordable, convenient, and perfect for getting around the Bay without the usual stress.
