Why Sydney
Built for the way Sydney moves
Skip the toll stacks
Westconnex, the Harbour Bridge, Eastern Distributor, Lane Cove Tunnel. Splitting tolls with two or three passengers turns a $25 round trip into a few bucks each.
Beat the M1 on long weekends
Sydney to the Central Coast and up to Newcastle clogs every Friday. Riders heading the same way can share a single car instead of adding to the queue.
Airport runs without the $60 taxi
Rides to and from Sydney Airport are some of the most common on RideMates. Split fuel with someone on your flight instead of paying rideshare surge.
