perfectly matching daily routes — between people who have never met

Before writing a line of code we surveyed around 2,000 residents of Vilnius and its suburbs. Every dot on the right is one such route: two people live next to each other, leave at the same time and head the same way. Separately.

Fewer cars — more city

Endlessly building and widening roads is too expensive and too slow. The real answer to congestion is residents cooperating.

01

We cut congestion

Every shared ride is one car fewer in the morning flow. A few hundred rides already make the city noticeably lighter.

02

We give time back

The dozens of hours a year lost to standing traffic become yours again — or at least pass in conversation.

03

We introduce neighbours

We live on the same street without knowing each other’s names — yet every morning we head the same way. Time to fix that.

04

We protect the air

Less exhaust and less noise in residential areas — without a single new kilometre of asphalt.

“Why are we all on the same route, yet each of us is alone in our own metal box?

The idea was born in a dead-stopped Vilnius traffic jam. I looked around and thought: why not simply share the empty seat? Today you drive me, tomorrow I drive you.

No payments, only mutual cooperation. If we team up today, there is one car fewer on the street at rush hour. And if hundreds or thousands of people did the same — every day?

Vilnius is choking on traffic — and we did the maths

TomTom data confirms it: Vilnius is one of the most congested small cities in Europe. Our own study of commuting habits showed what that costs residents.

42 min lost in traffic every day by suburban residents
37.5 min the same figure for people living inside the city
~30 % of drivers are ready to try shared rides right now

CoCommute is not an idea dreamt up in a vacuum. It is a technical answer to a large demand that already exists. TomTom traffic index for Vilnius →

The green lane is only for those riding together. Everyone else stays in the general flow.

The bus lane belongs to those who actually unclog the city

  • We are working with the city towards legal access to the dedicated lane for people who carpool.
  • That lane is needed less by electric cars and more by those carrying passengers and genuinely cutting traffic.
  • We have a technical solution for controlling access, so the lane cannot be abused.

Five steps to a shared road

  1. Download the app

    And run through a quick profile verification.

  2. Enter your route

    Point A → point B and your departure time.

  3. Wait for a neighbour

    Or send a request yourself when you spot a suitable car.

  4. Agree the details

    Everything is confirmed in the chat.

  5. Ride together

    Today you drive — tomorrow you swap.

Nobody to ride with today? That is fine — maybe none of your neighbours can make it. Just offer your route for tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay for fuel?

No. CoCommute has no payments or settlements at all — only mutual cooperation. Today you drive, tomorrow your neighbour does. Everyone saves simply by swapping seats.

What if someone is late?

You sort it out in the chat, the way neighbours do. There are no penalties or deductions — there is nothing to deduct from, because there is no money in the system. If today does not work out, you lose nothing.

What if nobody is going my way?

Leave your route in the app and it keeps looking for matches every day. The more neighbours join, the denser the network of routes in your area becomes.

Can I carry children?

That is for you to agree between yourselves. Responsibility for the child seat and for following the rules rests with the driver — exactly as on any other trip.

How do you check participants?

Identity and phone number are confirmed before the first ride. Beyond that, the model itself works in your favour: you ride with neighbours and colleagues, not with random people off the street.

Tomorrow morning your street could have one car fewer on it
