We're experiencing an outage with some of our services, including trip posting. Our team is working through this and we will add updates in thread here as the situation develops. Thanks for your patience!
Update: our services are back up and running properly. Any trips that had attempted to be posted have now been posted - if you were affected, make sure to look at your trips and ensure they weren't posted twice. Thanks for your patience on this!
Snow and freezing rain are forecasted for Tuesday evening and Wednesday. Stay safe on the road:

Text reads: Stay safe on the roads in winter weather. Ensure winter or snow-rated tires are in good condition. Top up your windshield washer fluid and gas tank/electrical charge. Make sure your headlights and taillights are working. Have a snow brush and scraper available. Pack an emergency kit with warm clothes, a blanket, food and water.

Instead of buying more stuff this Black Friday, why not share with your community? Sharing helps reduce consumption, build more resilient communities and decrease our impact on the environment. #GreenFriday

If it was up to us, we'd have signs like this on every highway (for one lane!). We hope you're all enjoying the fall colours at the moment! Thanks to @sregg for the picture 🙏 #carpool#ontario
We've reached 500,000 members! We thought this would be a good time to reflect on our #growth journey during a global pandemic and the tactics we used to keep moving forward and build value amidst all the uncertainty.

Today, for each booking on Poparide, we’re donating $2 to the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, in an effort to build awareness, education, and connections between all peoples in Canada. We’d like to thank our community for making this possible. #reconciliACTION@downiewenjack
