Tripda is an online carpooling platform that connects drivers and passengers heading the same way. They are encouraging students to carpool when they return home anywhere between 19th June to July 5th, 2015 for their college and university semester break. College and university semester breaks are among the travel peak seasons in Malaysia apart from the school holidays and festive seasons, with more than 1 million students returning home for their break or taking road trips around Malaysia as well as abroad (- this explains the slightly expensive airfare prices for this coming weekend when I last checked).
Don't you just like using file photos? Everyone looks sooooo happy.....but yes! Carpool....save your money in order to get that nice car later on...
Anyway, in order to promote carpooling this semester break, Tripda is giving away Starbucks Cards worth up to RM40 for 4 or more passengers in a car; RM30 per car for 3 passengers and RM20 per car for 2 passengers. Those who would like to enjoy the benefits of carpooling can sign up at http://sembreak.partners-tripda.com.my/.

PRESS RELEASE
STUDENTS ENCOURAGED TO CARPOOL
WHEN RETURNING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
KUALA LUMPUR, 18 June 2015 –Tripda, an online carpooling platform that connects drivers and passengers heading the same way is encouraging students to carpool when they return home anywhere between 19th June to July 5th, 2015 for their semester break.
“Carpooling does not only help alleviate traffic congestion but it also helps students reduce travel cost with the driver and passengers sharing out the cost,” said Victor Ang, Managing Director of Tripda Malaysia and Singapore. Ang added that students who are coping with the rising cost of living can save up to 70% of their travel expenses if they carpool.
College and university semester breaks are among the travel peak seasons in Malaysia apart from the school holidays and festive seasons, with more than 1 million students returning home for their break or taking road trips around Malaysia. “Tripda is driven to connect people and making trips to anywhere more efficient so it’s an ideal travel solution whether it’s for a holiday or going back to your respective hometowns,” said Ang. He also added that carpooling avoids any peak charges from bus or flight operators, plus is much more convenient since carpool trips tends to be a door-to-door travel as compered to other modes of transportation which require additional travel to bus/trains stations or airports & potentially other transit stops.
To promote carpooling this semester break, Tripda is giving away Starbucks Cards worth up to RM40 for 4 or more passengers in a car; RM30 per car for 3 passengers and RM20 per car for 2 passengers.
