Carpooling

Brakar and Nabogo have teamed up to offer a carpooling service where you can easily find a ride or passengers in the Nabogo app. The service is available in all Hallingdal municipalities, Hemsedal, Hole, Ringerike, and the Drammen area.

 

How it works

For those who want to offer a ride:

  • Select "Offer a ride" in the app.
  • Enter your starting point and destination, the departure time, and the number of available seats in your car.

People looking for a ride will see your trip and have the option to join you from meeting points along your route. You'll need to respond to their ride request to confirm the trip.

As a Nabogo driver you receive 1,50 NOK per passenger per km the first 10 km (the trip must be minimum 2 km), then 1 NOK per km until 40 km. The fare for a ride goes entirely to the driver. There are no administration fees or other costs associated with carpooling agreements. The driver can choose not the receive payment after the initial 10 km.

For those who want to catch a ride to or from work

  • Select "Find a ride" in the app.
  • Choose your departure and destination locations, as well as time of travel.
  • If someone is driving the route you've entered, the ride will appear, and you can request to join as a passenger.
  • The ride will be confirmed as soon as the driver accepts your request. You will then be picked up at the agreed meeting point and time.

If you only see bus or train trips when searching for a ride, it means there are no carpool options available for that particular time. In that case, it's a good idea to set up a carpool alert in the app to receive a notification when relevant carpool options become available.

As a passenger you will be charged 1,50 NOK per km for the first 10 km, then 1 NOK per km.

Free for Season Ticket Holders

If you have a season ticket with Brakar, you can ride for free with Nabogo. Just upload a screenshot of your period ticket under "PAYMENT and PUBLIC TRANSPORT CARD." Even though you travel as a passenger for free, the driver still gets paid.

If you want to offer a ride in the app, enter the route you drive, the days you drive, and the departure times. You can adjust the driving route yourself by tapping on it on the map. The route will include predetermined meeting points where passengers can request a ride from. If there are meeting points where you don't wish to stop, you can remove them yourself. You can also easily change the times or cancel rides if there are any changes in your plans along the way.

If you want to catch a ride home from work, you can search for a trip in the app to see if anyone is offering a ride. If a carpool is available, you can request to join as a passenger. The driver will receive a notification in the app, and once your request is approved you'll receive a confirmation for the ride. Inside the app, there is a messaging feature that allows the driver and passenger to communicate with each other if needed.
