Nubly™ matches drivers and riders in real time on commutes they were already making. No fixed schedule, no neighborhood overlap, no rigid carpool — your driver is a professional like you just passing through.
Ride with whoever's heading your way, and drive when it's your turn. Over a few days, your contributions and reimbursements balance to zero.
Oh, and one more thing: with three in the car, the Express Lane is free. On busy corridors, that can get you there in about half the time of driving alone.
Nubly is designed first for the people behind the wheel. Riders contribute toward the stretch they share with you, at the IRS rate — and three people in the car unlock HOV/HOT lanes and toll discounts you'll never get driving solo.
Get reimbursed for the miles you share on a commute you were already driving.
Riders contribute at the IRS rate (76¢/mi) toward the miles you share. How much of your commute comes back depends on how many riders join — and you never receive more than the cost of the miles you actually drove.
HOV / HOT and toll discounts — without paying for them.
Three occupants unlock express lanes and bridge-toll savings on every Bay Area corridor that offers them. The lane you wished for, finally yours.
Your riders' contribution lands in your account.
Each rider's contribution goes to your payout account after the trip.
Drive on your terms. Match on the day.
No fixed schedule, no commitment, no joining a "carpool." Open the app when you're heading out; drive or ride based on what fits today.
Only verified commuting professionals.
LinkedIn verification, ratings both ways, and help using the Bay Area's Emergency Ride Home programs. Real names, real workplaces, real accountability.
Tell Nubly where you're heading and roughly when. No commitment to anyone, or a fixed time, even when you have a recurring schedule.
We pair you with a driver already going your way — not a neighbor, not a coworker, just someone passing through.
Every contribution is derived from the IRS standard mileage rate (76¢/mi) for the miles shared, and adjusted for the number of riders on the trip. All of it goes to the driver, and the driver never receives more than the cost of the miles actually driven — by design. Fees are added on top of that contribution, never taken out of it, so the driver's reimbursement stays honest to the IRS rate. Fees are waived in full by the Founding Member Program, so nothing is added on top of that contribution today.
Plug in your real origin and destination — we'll show your commute-cost savings the moment you land. Want to know how much time you'd save? That comes once you're in.
