SOCIAL TRAFFIC – A NEW WAY TO CONNECT ON THE ROAD Your plate is your voice. Traffic just got social. Social Traffic brings drivers, passengers and vehicles together on a single platform. Search a plate and reach its driver. Report an issue on the road, say thank you, find the car you are looking for, discover vehicles before they are listed, set an alert, swap your car, share a ride with people heading the same way, and spread kindness in traffic. REACH A DRIVER BY PLATE Need to reach the driver of a car? Search the plate, and if the vehicle is registered on Social Traffic, get in touch with its owner. A blocked parking spot, headlights left on, a window left open, or anything else that needs attention. Reach out through the plate without ever sharing your phone number. Camera plate recognition lets you scan a plate instead of typing it. BUY REQUEST – TELL US WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR Set your brand, model, year, mileage, budget and other criteria, then create a Buy Request. Social Traffic connects people who want to sell with people genuinely looking for that exact car, directly and without commission. Owners who have not listed their car yet can see your request and make you an offer. Discover vehicles before they ever reach a listing. SET AN ALERT FOR THE CAR YOU WANT The car you want is not available right now? Choose the brand, model and year, then set your alert. Get notified the moment a matching listing appears. Stop searching. Social Traffic will tell you when it finds one. Identity verification and phone verification support a safer experience in listing flows. SWAP LISTING Tell us the car you have and the car you want. Discover matches with people looking for the opposite swap. Change your car without selling it first. Buy and swap listings are currently available in Turkey only. SHARED RIDES – FIND PEOPLE HEADING YOUR WAY Shared Rides is not only for car owners. If you drive, post "Leaving Kadikoy for Maslak at 18:00. Anyone heading the same way?" If you are a passenger, post "I need to get from Kadikoy to Maslak at 18:00. Anyone driving that way?" Drivers can find passengers, and passengers can find drivers going their way. Same city. Same direction. Same time. A smarter way to travel. KINDNESS IN TRAFFIC The road needs more kindness. Record a good deed you witness on the road, share it, and make kindness visible. Encourage people to help each other and drive with more care. See kindness. Share kindness. Spread kindness. EV CHARGING STATIONS Is a car blocking a charger long after it finished charging? Search its plate on Social Traffic, reach the driver and let them know. Get on with your day instead of waiting. ON THE ROAD Share accidents, speed traps, roadworks, congestion and anything else you run into. Report the current situation with Red, Yellow and Green Traffic Codes. Earn traffic points for useful reports and work your way towards becoming a Traffic Hero. NEARBY AND DISCOVER Discover people around you on the map. Browse users across the country and filter by vehicle brand and model. Share posts and stories, follow people, send messages and build your vehicle profile. Send a simple "Thank You" to anyone who helped you or warned you about something that mattered. AI-ASSISTED CONTENT REVIEW Shared content is reviewed by AI-assisted systems for compliance with community guidelines. The aim is to prevent sexual content, violence, hate speech and similar material from being published. Privacy settings let you control your location and profile visibility, and you can block users you would rather not hear from. Social Traffic is a technology venture awarded a Technology Entrepreneurship Badge. Reach a driver by plate. Say what you are looking for. Catch deals before they are listed. Set an alert. Swap your car. Share a ride. Solve the charger problem. Spread kindness in traffic. Discover, follow and connect. SOCIAL TRAFFIC Your plate is your voice.
