SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 09/13/11 — Tickengo, a social rideshare network that connects drivers with empty seats in their cars with passengers going to the same destination, today announced the availability of an innovative new corporate product that will enable employees to seamlessly organize a carpool system within their own company.
“We wanted to make it easy for companies to develop a rideshare program, without developing any software or website,” explained Tickengo CEO Jeremie Romand. “Our goal is to use the power of social web and cloud computing to reduce CO2 emissions and traffic, and to improve the way employees interact when they are commuting.”
Tickengo has thus far added 180 companies to the program, each of which has their own Tickengo corporate network on the dedicated page . Employees of these companies can sign up on their corporate network, enjoy the benefits of social mobility and earn rewards. Others can easily create their own Tickengo network at no cost, in the Bay Area and beyond.
A sampling of companies currently using the Tickengo corporate rideshare program includes: Conceptus, Microsemi, Glam Media, Criteo, eMeter, New Relic, SpringAhead, and Sideman & Bancroft.
“Tickengo is a great way to go if you are looking to contribute to our environment, make your everyday commute a pleasant time, and save money on gas,” said Michael Canon, sales manager at New Relic in San Francisco.
For a brief demonstration of the program, go to:
Companies can connect their network with others in their geographic area in order to grow their critical mass of commuters, and also add locations, features and get promotional assistance from Tickengo.
Tickengo is a revolutionary social network that connects drivers with empty seats in their cars with passengers going to the same destination. Tickengo is reinventing the way people share rides by facilitating seats booking and financial transactions. The network also provides a complete social experience via profile pages for users including photo, stats and reviews. It-s effortless and fun for people to book a ride to go anywhere (i.e. — shows, events, conferences, holiday destinations, etc.).
Tickengo received seed funding from Kima Ventures and angel investors in March 2011. The service is available in the U.S., Canada, UK and France. More than one million empty seats are available for booking.
