The rapid growth of mobile computing in combination with the advances of the internet and the smartphones boosted the smart mobility. The recent advances changed the way people travel and an emerging need for multimodal traveling support either in urban areas or among cities arose. Commuters used to travel with a mixture of public transports which is supported by many applications currently. Nowadays, many carpooling and car sharing applications are revealed which provide additional transport type for travelling. Carpoolers can either share driving and expenses or one person may drive most or all of the time, in which case the passenger shares operating expenses with the driver. The paper introduces a mobile application called RideMyRoute that provides a multimodal routing solution using public transports with car pooling. The application develops a new carpooling model which targets to optimise the inter-modality of carpooling with existing transport and services within European cities.
