College and university semester breaks are among the various travel peak seasons in Malaysia apart from the school holidays and festive seasons, with more than 1 million students returning home for their break or taking road trips around Malaysia.
Tripda, an online carpooling platform that connects drivers and passengers heading the same way is encouraging students to carpool when they return to their hometown or heading anywhere between 19th June to July 5th, 2015.
To promote carpooling for this semester break, Tripda is giving away Starbucks Cards worth up to RM40 for 4 or more passengers in a car; RM30 per car for 3 passengers and RM20 per car for 2 passengers.

This carpooling app is currently free for all to use. It is safe, fuss-free and an economical way to get from one destination to another. Tripda can be accessed through its website, www.tripda.com.my or downloaded as a mobile app via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
“Carpooling does not only help alleviate traffic congestion but it also helps students reduce travel cost with the driver and passengers sharing out the cost,” said Victor Ang, Managing Director of Tripda Malaysia and Singapore. Ang added that students who are coping with the rising cost of living can save up to 70% of their travel expenses if they carpool.
“Tripda is driven to connect people and making trips to anywhere more efficient so it’s an ideal travel solution whether it’s for a holiday or going back to your respective hometowns,” said Ang. He also added that carpooling avoids any peak charges from bus or flight operators, plus is much more convenient since carpool trips tends to be a door-to-door travel as compered to other modes of transportation which require additional travel to bus/trains stations or airports & potentially other transit stops.
