Hi, has anyone signed up with Jomrider.com and offered or taken a ride? It looks like a promising free car-sharing platform which connects drivers with people heading the same way.

No, I don't find its app. But the current web version is quite good, IMHO. Usually I prefer to view websites on a PC. I use mobile phone for messaging apps such as Whatsapp etc.

Did you sign up too?

I did a test ride offer. Basically as the driver, you get to set the rate. Because there are also other drivers offering the same route, you can't set your rate unreasonably high. So basically it works like other goods in a competitive market where the demand and supply will determine the price.

As stated on Jomrider.com, its main objective is to foster a car-sharing culture with the environment in mind where the driver fills empty seats in his or her car. The passengers simply pay a reasonable ride costs (as set by the driver) so as to partially "subsidise" the driver, while making sociable contacts during the journey, thus creating a more sustainable, sociable and affordable riding experience for both the driver and passengers. I believe this is a very common practice especially in the UK, Germany etc.

I would suggest you sign up and play around with it. It is very straightforward to use and understand.
