Q) What was your personal motivation for founding a carpooling app?

Ans) In cities like Manila people spend 4+ hours a day commuting due to horrid traffic while 70% of seats in cars on the road are EMPTY! Those same commuters have a smartphone and can be connected to take cars off the road, provide a more convenient commute and better quality of life for everyone.

Q) Can you give us a rundown of how it works?

You sign up to the Wunder Mobility app in several clicks, provide where you live and work and if you typically drive your own car or take public transport.
