The same people leave the same place at the same time every day, each paying as though they were the only one making the trip. Rydlnk fixes that. Rydlnk pools commuters travelling the same corridor at the same time into one vehicle, at one fixed fare — and lets you pay for your seat either from your own balance or from credits your employer funds. SET YOUR WEEK ONCE Tell Rydlnk where you travel and on which days. Your rides repeat on their own. No booking the same trip every morning, and no scrambling when your shift changes. A FARE YOU CAN PREDICT Every seat is quoted before you book, and the price never surges. When more riders join your trip, the cost is shared further and your fare goes down — never up. RIDE ON YOUR ACCOUNT, OR ON YOUR EMPLOYER'S If your workplace funds commuter travel, their credits appear as a second balance in the same app you already use. Work trips spend those credits first; anything outside their policy comes off your own balance instead of being refused. There is no second app to install. REQUEST A TIME, NOT JUST A RIDE Ask for the journey you actually need. A driver can accept it or propose a different time, and you decide whether that works. Requests stay open until a driver picks them up, so an early booking is not lost because nobody was online at that moment. FOLLOW YOUR TRIP Track your driver on the map as they approach, message the trip when plans change, and share your journey with someone you trust. Safety tools are one tap from the ride screen. DRIVE WITH RYDLNK Drivers see the trips that suit the routes and hours they have chosen, accept the ones they want, and track their earnings in the app. Verification is handled in-app before the first trip. WHERE IT WORKS Rydlnk currently serves commuters in Utah County, Utah. Rydlnk connects riders with independent drivers. It is a marketplace for shared journeys, not a transport provider, and it is not an emergency service.
