An open-source, non-profit carpooling platform for the shared economy, originally created for the French website covoiturage-libre.fr.
Covoiturage Libre is an open-source carpooling platform originally created for the French website covoiturage-libre.fr. It provides a free, non-profit carpooling service for the shared economy, designed to operate without for-profit company control over the service. The project aims to create a federated network of carpooling instances that communicate with each other.
Communities, organizations, and developers looking to deploy or contribute to a non-profit, open-source carpooling platform, particularly those interested in French transportation solutions or shared economy projects.
Developers choose Covoiturage Libre because it offers a fully open-source alternative to commercial carpooling platforms, operates as a non-profit service, and promotes a federated approach where different instances can communicate rather than creating isolated forks.
