  • Since you must match with a driver going the same direction, your travel plans are dictated by the available rides.
  • As a smaller, community-based platform, there is less availability compared to commercial rideshare apps.
  • Treadshare does not require drivers to undergo background checks, it only encourages them. So, passengers need to exercise caution and use their own discretion when choosing a driver.
  • Carpooling inherently involves sharing a car with strangers, which may not be comfortable for passengers who prefer a private ride.
