Blablalines
Table of contents:
In Blablacar they are opening. And it is that the collaborative service to share the route, and its expenses, opens a new market: Blablalines. A service, and its own application for Android, focused on daily commuting for workers. A version adapted to the needs of those who travel every day to the same places of origin and destination
Daily trips and payment in cash
At Blablacar they are willing to give a twist to their own concept in order to exploit Blablalines.So there are some notable differences. The first thing is that Blablalines has its own application and requires a completely new user profile Whether you are a driver or a passenger.
In addition, this application does not include payments via credit card. Surprisingly, they bet on payment in cash after each trip. Although in-app purchases will be included soon.
Travel lines
Blablalines wants to be a substitute for the subway or the bus in daily commutes to places of work outside the city or place of residence. However, unlike Blablacar, or the Waze meeting service, it does not offer exclusive collection points for each user. It is enough to search for an active route so that the application itself finds the ideal point that will serve as a collection stop.In this way, they want to avoid delays and the loss of time that picking someone up from home can mean.
A much more direct way that doesn't force drivers or slow down passengers. You just have to find the active route and request the collection. The driver receives a notification via the app to confirm in just 30 minutes. The journey is carried out and the mileage indicated by the application is collected at that moment and in cash. Worry-free, hassle-free, and as smoothly as possible.
For now only in France
Blablacar wants Blablalines to work throughout France by 2018. At the moment there are only daily active lines between different cities with a distance of 50 kilometers. Namely: Reims and Chí¢lons-en-Champagne, and between Toulouse and Mountauban.
Apparently, Blablalines could be used to organize routes and lines for companies. Something that would help their workers. A good formula for earning income.
