About this app

Amshapopo allows you to share your trips as a driver or a passenger and allow others to book you up. This allows you to easily plan for commutes with friends, friends of friends, or strangers! Using the app, Amshapopo applies the concept of sustainable mobility to encourage the rational and efficient use of automobiles during short and long commutes. By using Amshapopo, not only that you will stop having empty seats in your car, but you will be helping to reduce a number of things such as:

- The emissions of gases causing the increase of the greenhouse effect in our atmosphere.
- The consumption of fossil fuels (non-renewable resources).
- Traffic congestions that cause great losses of time.
- The levels of smog and noise in the cities, causing diseases.
- The probability of traffic accidents, with the consequent decrease in mortality.

When a person shares their car, several events occur simultaneously that positively affect the life of that person and others.

First of all, one of the biggest positive impacts of Amshapopo is to reinforce social ties. When sharing a trip, people who often did not know each other can connect as they commute. Think of possibilities of work and new contacts, exchanging points of view on different topics, generating trust among people, forming that authentic feeling that makes you want to "Amshapopo" with strangers for entertaining and fun-filled trips.

Secondly, the more you use the app, it ultimately generates a positive environmental impact. Whenever two car drivers who usually travel in separate cars decide to join and travel in the same vehicle leaving the other parked in the garage, and if it becomes a habit, we could reduce the number of cars on the road and thus also decrease travel time, greenhouse gas emissions, the consumption of fossil fuels (non-renewable resources), smog and noise pollution from vehicles, among other benefits.

We believe it is important to encourage this practice and raise awareness among people so that they can make more rational use of the car.
