BlaBlaCar to acquire Klaxit, a ride-sharing service for daily commutes

▤ Summary

BlaBlaCar has announced that it plans to acquire Klaxit, a smaller French startup. This time, the company wanted to match drivers heading to work with other employees looking for a transportation method. Optimizing those rides is a good way to save money on daily commutes. Local governments can subsidize the services as carpooling to contribute to reducing road infrastructure budget. While it will increase the user base, there’s still a long road ahead as there are more than 10 million people driving to work alone every day in France.
