Welcome Ride-Share is a smart sharing-mobility platform aimed at providing sustainable transportation solutions. Launched in 2022, it operates in approximately 22 cities across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our service focuses on reducing carbon emissions by promoting shared rides, and making urban transportation more eco-friendly and accessible. By integrating advanced technology and a user-friendly app, Welcome Ride-Share ensures efficient and reliable transportation, aiming to reduce over 100 million tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2026.

The Environmental Benefits

• •CO2 Footprint Calculator:The Welcome App includes a built-in CO2 footprint calculator that tracks and reports the carbon emissions saved for each shared trip. This feature has already helped our community save over 5,000 tonnes of CO2
• •Ride-Matching Efficiency:The advanced ride-matching algorithm in the Welcome App increases vehicle occupancy rates by pairing drivers with passengers traveling in the same direction. This not only reduces the number of vehicles on the road
• •Reduction in Traffic Congestion:By promoting ride-sharing, the Welcome App significantly reduces traffic congestion in urban areas. Fewer cars on the road lead to lower traffic density, which reduces idle times and subsequently cuts down on CO2 emission
• •The Welcome App helps users save over 5,000 tonnes of CO2 annually through optimized ride-sharing, equivalent to planting more than 200,000 trees. This significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is achieved by increasing vehicle occupancy
• •Welcome App significantly lowers air pollution levels in urban areas, contributing to improved public health. Reduced traffic congestion also decreases harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particule matters

The Financial Benefits

• •Welcome App users save up to 50% on fuel and maintenance costs compared to single-occupancy vehicle use. By sharing rides, drivers and passengers split these expenses, leading to substantial cost savings for everyone involved
• •Compared to owning and operating a personal vehicle, the Welcome App offers a lower total cost of ownership. Users avoid the high costs of vehicle purchase, insurance, and depreciation, making ride-sharing a more economical choice over time
• •The total cost of ownership for Welcome App users is lower due to reduced expenses on insurance, parking, and vehicle wear and tear. Additionally, passengers benefit from affordable ride-sharing fees that are often lower than traditional taxi fares
• •For users switching from traditional single-occupancy vehicle use to the Welcome App, the payback time is almost immediate. The savings from reduced fuel, maintenance, and operational costs quickly offset any initial adoption costs
