A community based service RideCheap is rocking Davos during 2019 World Economic Forum. In a couple of days, the app was downloaded 2300 times.

The guests of WEF in Davos actively use ridesharing to move across the city, and it proves to be better than the old options in a number of ways.

RideCheap connects drivers and passengers, allowing them freely bargain on prices and conditions of the ride. Each shared ride has a number of benefits on a larger scale. For example, less loaded roads, which is crucial for compact Davos streets. It can also provide a solution to many lingering traffic issues all over the world.

Moreover, ridesharing contributes to tackling global ecology problems, lowering emissions of harmful exhaust gases. Others say it can offer a solution to long-term psychological problems of today's society, like anxiety and depression, by forming strong communities.

All those features make ridesharing with RideCheap a must-try-thing in this year's Davos - as soon as social benefits and sustainability of things are always a hot discussion topics behind the scenes of official WEF program.
