Carpooling in Saudi Arabia

I wish we could have something like BlaBlaCar service in Saudi, but frankly I doubt it will gain much of success considering that the people is so concerned about the safety.

Not a common practice in the region and not backed by the regulations

Car pooling is illegal here, though many people share rides with friends and colleagues for small monthly payments. Some people put up ads in internet offering rides for daily trips, weekends  special trips for long distances.

Due to low fuel prices, all working professionals owes a car, labor transportation is arranged by their own companies , taxis availability, carpooling has limited exposure to in major cities of Saudi Arabia

There is no car pooling as of now.

@AmerFarhan do you know a place to find some? I need to go from Medina to Alula. There are two of us. Thank you, Marcel
