Split-it! is a location based app that provides a safe and stress free way for users within a extended social network who are travelling to and from the same destinations to share taxis and split the fare.

Split-It! will help you save money on taxi fares, reduce waiting times for taxis, network with new friends and help save the environment by reducing pollution.

Safety is important to us, and that is why users must be signed in and verified via their facebook account and users will be able to see if their potential match has any mutual friends on facebook. We will never post onto your wall without your permission or give away your private information to any 3rd parties. We will only show your first name and profile picture to the other passenger so that you still have privacy yet members are not entirely anonymous. This will in-turn make ride-sharing more safe.

A rating system is in place so that we can award courteous members. Upon the completion of the ride, each user will be able to provide feedback on the other passenger.

Split-It! is easy to use. Simply input your starting point and destination and the app will generate a list of potential matches for you who are also looking to travel along the same route. Once a match has been selected, an in app chat function will allow the user to arrange a meeting point, call a cab, and share details of a booked taxi.

Credits will be provided to users for free until end of 2012, and for a limited time, users will be able to earn more credits by referring friends.
