Why RideMates
Why carpool this route?
Western corridor daily commute
Ipswich, Springfield, and Goodna commuters fill recurring weekday seats on the Ipswich Motorway. Office workers in the CBD and Eagle Street post seats both directions every morning and evening.
Skip the M2 crawl alone
The Ipswich Motorway slows from Wacol most weekday mornings. Splitting the drive means transit lane access in many sections and someone to share the trip with.
Cheaper than the train plus a transfer
The Ipswich Line train is $5, but factor in the walk from Central Station and the wait for connections. A door-to-door carpool is $14 to $20 with no transfers.
