Opening the Ride Screen
- Tap an event on your dashboard or in a carpool
The ride screen opens with two tabs:
- To (green) — rides to the event
- From (blue) — rides home from the event
The Riders row shows everyone riding. A green check means they're riding that direction; a crossed-out avatar means they're not.
Adding a Rider
- In the Riders row, tap the + tile
- Pick an existing rider from the list, or tap New Rider to create a new one
- The rider is added to the trip you're on
- In a carpool with Automatically add riders to all events on (the default), they also ride every other trip, with no extra step
- With it off, add the rider to each trip on its own
Tip: Tap any rider's avatar to open that rider's card already expanded, so you can adjust their settings right away.
Setting Pickup and Drop-off Locations
Pickup and drop-off are set separately on each tab:
- Pickup → on the To tab, the rider's card shows Pickup location
- Drop-off → on the From tab, the rider's card shows Drop-off location
To set one:
- Open the tab for the direction you want (To or From)
- Tap the rider's avatar to expand their card
- Tap Pickup location or Drop-off location
- Choose Just this trip or Every trip in the carpool
- Tap a place, or tap Add Location to add a new one without leaving the screen
Not set means the rider has no place yet. Tap Use the usual place to undo a change.
You can also set places from the Ride Organizer or from the carpool's riders. See How to Set Where a Rider Is Picked Up or Dropped Off for every way to do it.
Choosing Which Car a Rider Is In
Each rider's card shows a Ride with list with the drivers for that trip.
- Expand the rider's card
- Tap Ride with
- Pick a driver (drivers whose car is full are shown as Full)
If no one is driving that day yet, the card says No drivers available for this day.
Skipping a Trip for One Rider
When a rider can't make it:
- Expand the rider's card
- Turn off Riding this trip
- If the rider rides both directions, you'll be asked:
- Just This Trip — removes them from only the current direction (To or From)
- Both Trips (To & From) — removes them from both
- Cancel — leave everything as-is
If the rider only rides one direction, the switch turns off immediately with no prompt.
To bring them back, simply turn Riding this trip back on.
Skipping a Whole Day or Managing Many Riders at Once
For bulk changes or skipping an entire occurrence, use the Ride Organizer :
- On the ride screen, tap the ⋮ menu → Ride Organizer
Find the day's card. From its ⋮ menu you can:
- Edit Riders — pick To and From riders in one place
- Skip This Day — cancel the whole event for that date (optionally add a reason)
Use Restore This Day later to bring a skipped day back
Tips
- With Automatically add riders to all events on (the default), riders ride every trip once added, so you only act when someone can't ride.
- You'll find that setting on the carpool's Edit Carpool screen.
- Choose Every trip in the carpool to set a rider's place once for all future trips, or Just this trip for a one-off change.
- A red seat count on a driver means their car is full or over capacity — move a rider to another car or skip a trip.
