01 Project Overview

The journey back Home Never Felt Safer for Students

WiseRide is creating a safer, smarter way for students to get around, eliminating the uncertainty of hitchhiking by connecting them with trusted rides.

02 The Problem

Traveling With unknown Driver Can be Dangerous And Frightening

Many students finish their studies late at night when public transportation in Israel is unavailable, leaving them to seek rides from others. However, they are often hesitant to accept rides from strangers due to concerns about harassment or lack of trust in the driver. This makes finding a reliable and safe ride home challenging.
