Features & Capabilities

Skip the $30 cab. Or turn the drive you're making anyway into gas money. TAGO connects students going the same way — same campus, same trust, same trip.

TAGO RIDES is a peer-to-peer carpool app built for university students. Match with verified .edu drivers heading the same direction, share the cost, and arrive cheaper than cabs.

WHY TAGO Tired of $30-$150 cab rides to the Bay Area or Sacramento? TAGO matches you with fellow students already driving your route. Pay only the gas + a fair share of time — typically a fraction of what a rideshare costs.

HOW IT WORKS For riders: • Sign up with your .edu email — no .edu, no entry • Tell us where you're going • We match you with a verified driver heading the same way • Track your driver in real-time, chat in-app, and pay automatically when you arrive

For drivers: • Already driving to Davis, Sac, or the Bay? Toggle Online and earn back your gas • See ride requests on routes that match your commute — no detours forced • Get paid through Stripe, payouts to your bank in 1-2 days • Snooze incoming requests in one tap when you're busy

KEY FEATURES • .edu-only community — every rider and driver is a verified university student • Real-time matching with directional intelligence — we don't waste your time on rides going the wrong way • Smart ride suggestions — when a fellow student is heading your way on a day that fits your schedule, we let you know. No more checking the board every morning. • Live driver tracking with ETA and a lock-screen Live Activity for the active ride — only while you're on the trip, never before or after • Apple Pay + saved cards via Stripe — secure, never stored on our servers • In-app chat between matched rider and driver • Live driver tracking with ETA, lock-screen Live Activity for the active ride • QR-code start/end for verified pickup and drop-off • Built-in safety: emergency button, trip sharing with trusted contacts, post-ride reporting • Wallet with top-up, ride history, and instant payouts • Recurring ride scheduling for daily commuters

ACCESSIBILITY TAGO is built for every student. • Bring a caregiver. Riders who need a companion on the ride can attach one in advance. The driver sees this before accepting. • Mobility access-friendly rides. Drivers tell us whether their car can fit a wheelchair. You can see that on the driver's profile before you commit. • Trusted contacts. Share your live trip with up to 5 people you trust in one tap from the safety menu. • Driver goodwill. Drivers can choose to waive the caregiver seat fee on any ride they accept. • Full iOS accessibility: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, larger text, Reduce Motion.

SAFETY FIRST We give you the tools to ride and drive smarter — real-time tracking, in-app chat, emergency button, trip sharing, and a verified-only community. Your full pickup, drop-off, and rating history is preserved for accountability.

TRANSPARENT PRICING Fares are calculated automatically from real distance, real time, and real-time gas prices (sourced from the US Energy Information Administration). $5 minimum per ride. Drivers see what they'll earn before accepting. Riders see the full fare before requesting. No surge pricing, no hidden fees.

EARLY ACCESS BETA TAGO is in early access. We're starting with UC Davis and the Sacramento / Bay Area corridor. We're actively rolling out new features, including expanded campuses, deeper background checks, and recurring schedule matching. Your feedback shapes what comes next.
