I apologize for missing scoop, even though I am regular user of it.

To add to the list and hopefully make it more complete

Scoop : http://takescoop.com

Lyft Shuttle[In beta] : http://lyft.com/shuttle

Uber ExpressPool : https://www.uber.com/ride/express-pool/

I think the ridesharing businesses are making a real difference in optimizing cars usage and helping the environment in the process.

patelbhavesh··on Waze Carpool
I have been a happy Scoop/waze customer for sometime.I also run a 70 people non-profit vanpool for my employer in SF bay area and we supplement Scoop/Waze for timings when our vans do not operate.

Scoop seems to be a very humane company in the sense that rather then focusing ONLY on algorithms they have spend the time to build human partnerships.

Examples of what I mean is the following 1>They contacted lawyers to ensure non-immigrant populations[lots in bay area] do not get into trouble https://blog.takescoop.com/making-scoop-accessible-for-all-6...

2>They worked with Bart to ensure scoop users get dedicated parking https://blog.takescoop.com/carpool-to-bart-59d8555e79a2

3>Partnership with commute.org to fairly distribute the $1 million grant https://blog.takescoop.com/scoop-partners-with-the-carpool-i...

Disclaimer : I have no relationship whatsoever to Scoop.I just like appreciating companies when they are trying to do the right think and thinking differently to solve difficult problems.

Best of luck to the scoop team.keep up the good work
