Why RideMates
Why carpool this route?
South-western corridor commute
Springfield Central, Springfield Lakes, Augustine Heights, and Forest Lake commuters fill recurring weekday seats on the Centenary Motorway. Office workers in the CBD post seats both directions.
Skip the Centenary Motorway pinch
The Centenary Motorway narrows at the Sumners Road interchange and slows every weekday morning. Sharing means transit lane access and someone to make the run easier.
Cheaper than parking in the CBD
Brisbane CBD parking is $30 to $50 a day. A $12 to $18 carpool seat saves the parking, the fuel, and the toll.
