Vi skal samme vei – hvorfor ikke reise sammen? Same Way er en norsk samkjøringsapp som gjør det enkelt for sjåfører og passasjerer å finne hverandre, avtale en tur og dele reisen. Bruk ledige seter, del reisekostnadene og få hyggelig selskap på veien. Enten du trenger skyss eller allerede skal kjøre, kan Same Way hjelpe deg å finne noen som skal samme vei. DEL TUREN. DEL KOSTNADENE. REIS SAMMEN. Med Same Way kan du: • Tilby ledige seter på en tur du allerede skal kjøre • Legge inn en forespørsel om skyss • Finne turer som passer med reiseruten og tidspunktet ditt • Se aktuelle treff mellom sjåfører og passasjerer • Se ruter, avstander og beregnet reisetid • Kommunisere direkte i appen • Avtale pris før turen • Sende et annet prisforslag og bli enige • Bekrefte samkjøringen før avreise • Følge turens status frem til den er fullført • Bytte mellom sjåfør- og passasjerrollen SAMKJØRING NÅR DET PASSER DEG Du trenger ikke alltid å planlegge reisen lenge i forveien. Skal du kjøre et sted og har ledige seter? Legg ut turen. Trenger du skyss? Registrer hvor og når du ønsker å reise. Same Way hjelper mennesker som skal i samme retning med å finne hverandre – både på korte og lange turer. SLIK FUNGERER DET 1. Legg inn reisen Velg avreisested, reisemål, dato og tidspunkt. 2. Finn noen som skal samme vei Same Way sammenligner turer og viser aktuelle muligheter for samkjøring. 3. Avtal detaljene Bruk chatten til å avtale hentested, pris og andre praktiske detaljer. 4.

FOR DEG SOM TRENGER SKYSS Legg inn reisen din og finn ut om noen skal samme vei. Avtal hentested og pris med sjåføren før dere reiser. Samkjøring gir deg en ekstra reisemulighet, enten du skal en kort tur eller reise langt. FLERE I BILEN. BEDRE BRUK AV VEIEN. Hver dag kjører mange biler med tomme seter, samtidig som andre trenger transport. Når flere deler en tur, kan vi utnytte bilene bedre og redusere behovet for at alle kjører hver sin bil. Samkjøring kan bidra til: • Lavere reisekostnader • Bedre utnyttelse av ledige seter • Færre biler på veien • Mindre kø og lavere utslipp når én felles tur erstatter flere bilturer • Hyggelige møter mellom mennesker Målet vårt er å gjøre samkjøring til et naturlig valg i hverdagen. Neste gang du skal av gårde: Kanskje noen skal samme vei? Same Way – finn

SameWay connects people who are heading to the same place: into town, to a concert, a festival, a market, the lake or a hike. Car, train, bus, ferry, bike or on foot – the journey matters, not the wheels. A classic carpool, a rideshare to a festival or a shared train ride: you find people near you who want to ride along or can take you with them. HOW IT WORKS The board shows who is heading where: trips posted by other people, plus occasions such as concerts and markets and destinations for inspiration. If a trip fits, you message the person directly. Everything else is settled in the chat: where you meet, when you leave, whether and how you split any costs. Want to take someone along, or looking for company? Post a trip: origin, destination, time, means of transport, seats. Whoever wants to join asks in the chat – you confirm or decline. On confirmation the seat count goes down automatically and a shared group chat opens for everyone on board. THE CHAT IS THE PRODUCT SameWay books nothing and matches nothing automatically. There is no commission, no payment processing and no fare in the system. Whether a trip is free, whether costs are shared or whether that is up for discussion is a note from the author – the actual arrangement happens in the chat, directly between you. WHAT THE BOARD SHOWS • Trips posted by others: offers (I can take you) and requests (I am looking for a ride or company) • Occasions: concerts, festivals, parties, markets, sports, stage, exhibitions • Destinations: sights, nature, lakes, castles, museums, viewpoints • Categories you can show or hide, so the board matches your interests Occasions and destinations are marked as inspiration, not as an offer – you can turn any of them into your own trip with one tap. ARRIVE SAFELY Add up to three trusted contacts and start companion mode: they see where you are until you tap “Arrived” – on every trip and without one too, like on your way home. If you don't check in, the app reminds you and then lets your trusted contacts know. If one of them uses SameWay, they can follow along right in the app. SameWay is not an emergency service. TRUST AND SAFETY • A trip publicly shows its place and time. The exact meeting point is deliberately agreed in the chat only. • After a completed trip you can rate each other from 1 to 5 stars. The average appears on the profile. • Trips can be limited to women; the system enforces this. Further conditions: non-smoking, pets, luggage. • You can report any profile, any trip and any message. Every report is reviewed. • You can block people. Blocked people cannot message you, cannot ask to join and cannot follow you; their posts are hidden from you. You manage this under Profile › Settings › Safety. • Abusive language is checked when you send and rejected. YOUR PROFILE Display name, photo, bio, interests, region and vehicle are all optional. Your profile is publicly visible – you decide what goes in it. Your stats count shared trips, CO2 saved and your rating average. Follow people and you will see their current trips. BROWSE WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT You can look at the board without signing in. A free account is needed only once you act: post a trip, message someone, ask to join, follow or rate. You can delete your account yourself in the settings at any time – together with your content. LANGUAGES German, English, French, Spanish, Italian. The app follows your device language. LOCATION Sharing your location is optional; it sorts nearby trips to the top. Without it you simply type your place by hand. If you use your current location as the origin or destination, that place becomes part of your public trip. SameWay is not a taxi service and not a booking platform. It is a notice board with a chat – for carpools and everyone with the same way and the same vibe.
