Real-time Carpooling for Community of Commuters

The carpool lane,
without the carpool.

Nubly™ matches drivers and riders in real time on commutes they were already making. No fixed schedule, no neighborhood overlap, no rigid carpool — your driver is a professional like you just passing through.

Three example Bay Area corridors. Illustrative matches show the pattern: roughly half the time of driving alone, with riders contributing toward the shared stretch.

These three corridors are illustrative examples, not live service data. Riders contribute toward the shared stretch at the IRS standard mileage rate, adjusted for how many riders join, with HOV/HOT lane access where available. Every rider is shown the proposed charge before they confirm; the final amount charged can be lower, for example when another rider joins. Fees are added on top of the contribution, never taken out of it. Distances are approximate; time figures use AM-peak for solo drivers, Caltrans, or BART averages.

See how the math works

You were already driving anyway.
Now riders help pay for it.

Nubly is designed first for the people behind the wheel. Riders contribute toward the stretch they share with you, at the IRS rate — and three people in the car unlock HOV/HOT lanes and toll discounts you'll never get driving solo.

Get reimbursed for the miles you share on a commute you were already driving.

Riders contribute at the IRS rate (76¢/mi) toward the miles you share. How much of your commute comes back depends on how many riders join — and you never receive more than the cost of the miles you actually drove.

HOV / HOT and toll discounts — without paying for them.

Three occupants unlock express lanes and bridge-toll savings on every Bay Area corridor that offers them. The lane you wished for, finally yours.

The math is the math.

Every contribution is derived from the IRS standard mileage rate (76¢/mi) for the miles shared, and adjusted for the number of riders on the trip. All of it goes to the driver, and the driver never receives more than the cost of the miles actually driven — by design. Fees are added on top of that contribution, never taken out of it, so the driver's reimbursement stays honest to the IRS rate.
