Short answers on finding a seat, what it costs, and who you are riding with.
Full FAQHow do I find a rideshare in Kitchener-Waterloo?
Open the Loop app, set Kitchener-Waterloo as your pickup or your destination, pick a date, and every ride posted for that day appears with its price, open seats and pickup point. Book instantly or request a seat, depending on how the driver set the ride, and pay in the app with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. If you are driving, post the ride you are already taking; that is how every city on Loop starts.
How much does a rideshare from Kitchener-Waterloo cost?
Drivers set their own seat price, and it is usually a fraction of what the trip costs to run. ON cost-sharing rules cap what a driver may collect (22¢ per km per seat is the ceiling, not the going rate), so a seat stays a share of the trip rather than a fare. Prices never surge, and the price you see is the price you pay in the app.
Are Loop drivers in Kitchener-Waterloo verified?
Yes. Drivers on Loop are ID and driver's licence verified. At pickup you confirm the ride with a PIN, both of you can follow live trip status, and you can share a live trip page with someone at home. Ratings are blind: neither side sees the other's rating until both are in. Women can also post women-only rides that only women can book, and Loop's servers enforce that rule.
Can I carpool with people from my campus or workplace in Kitchener-Waterloo?
Yes. Circles are Loop's communities for a campus, a city, a workplace or an interest. Join the Kitchener-Waterloo Circle or your campus Circle in the app, and the rides members post show up in the feed next to the events people are going to. Anyone can start a Circle, and no student email is required.
