Save up to P50,000 a year with this carpool app

[Editor’s Note: The following is a press release from Wunder]

MANILA, Philippines – The total lifetime cost of owning a car is equal to buying a house or hundreds of holidays.

Studies have shown that when you combine the cost of maintenance, gas, insurance, and that pesky parking spot, an average person spends more than P1 million on their car in a lifetime!

So how can you do something about those expenses and be a smarter car owner?

Enter the Wunder Carpool app (available on iOS and Android), which launched in Metro Manila last year. It promises office workers who drive their car each day a seamless way to share empty seats and save money.

Unlike ride sharing apps such as Uber or Grab, Wunder drivers are not taxi operators and merely pick up passengers on their way to the office or back home, with minimal detour.

After one year of operations in Manila, over 200,000 community members and over a million rides shared, Wunder has learned that drivers who regularly share empty seats with two or three other passengers can earn between P4,000 to P8,000 pesos per month!

These funds are surely better spent on family, friends or even saving up for that new gadget you were hoping for. – Rappler.com
