Envoiture.fr - First Facebook Application Dedicated to
Carpooling In France!
With the application Envoiture.fr, a new era is starting in France
for carpooling
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new Facebook
application ?Envoiture.fr? (or Rideshare.co.uk
in English) enables Facebook users to easily share lifts and travel
cheaply through Facebook. Users can see their friendsī lifts and can
instantly decide to join them and agree on a meeting point and costs.
Normal search results in the application include all rides available on
the site Envoiture.fr,
with the additional feature of being able to view the Facebook profile
of drivers and passengers whose account is connected to Facebook. Users
can see if they are friends of friends, neighbors, regular travelers or
new acquaintances.
?Facebook is free and enables people to connect
and share. These are the exact values of our carpooling
service.?
The application is completely free and can be accessed from the Facebook
page of Carpooling
Envoiture.fr or at the address http://apps.facebook.com/envoiture_fr
or within the Facebook Application directory under the name ?Envoiture.fr?.
On the welcome page of the application, users are invited to follow
their friends? rides or to search for a ride from the Envoiture.fr
database. Publishing offers and requests requires a free registration,
if you don?t have an account already.
The carpooling
application is being launched simultaneously in 8 European countries and
gives Facebook users access to Europe?s largest carpooling database with
more than 350,000 trips. ?Facebook is free and enables people to connect
and share. These are the exact values of our carpooling
service.? says Odile Beniflah, manager of Envoiture.fr. ? It is natural
for us to help Facebook users connect and share a ride without changing
their communication habits.?
Thanks to this application, Envoiture.fr goes beyond the traditional
carpooling website and opens the doors to more social carpooling on
Facebook. Envoiture.fr looks forward to user feedback to help develop
its application even further; a significant step for carpooling in
France.
