We found that most people really value the social and fun part of travelling together in a car. Of course, it is mostly popular for being the cheapest way to travel, but it is also a great way to meet people and share experiences and that’s the story behind BlablaCar.
 

Background

When we first launched the service in continental Europe we realised that knowing who you will travel with is critical to our service. For this reason, we have designed our service to allow people to share as much as possible about who they are. This includes the Facebook social graph through a Facebook connect but also a series of additional information such as your affinity with music, smoking, pets and... of course the famous “blabla” icon that defines how chatty you are...
 

Bla, blabla or blablabla?

The name BlablaCar comes from drivers and passengers rating how talkative they are :

•   : not very chatty
   
• : likes a natter
   
• : won’t shut up

The community aspect ensures transparency, safety and that the market effectively and efficiently sets the price of each trip. When you register for free don’t forget to complete your profile and share this information with your fellow BlablaCar members.
