Costs
Individual transport is getting consistently more expensive—putting pressure on expense claims, salaries, and benefits budgets.
LinkToRide is the program that enables your employees to commute together: your company covers ride costs, employees get subsidized commutes, and you receive automated carbon emission reports calculated via our Carbon Tool. The app is live and fully functional—your program launches whenever you're ready.
Schedule a 20-minute discussion
Individual transport is getting consistently more expensive—putting pressure on expense claims, salaries, and benefits budgets.
Commute-related stress directly impacts productivity, job satisfaction, and ultimately, employee turnover. Commuting is frequently brought up in exit interviews—yet hardly any company treats it as a solvable problem.
A packed parking lot and a waiting list for spots are real, tangible costs paid month after month.
Employee commuting is one of a company’s largest sources of carbon emissions—and historically the hardest to measure and reduce.
Companies that solve commuting turn the least popular part of the workday into a recruitment advantage.
How the Program Works
Employees set up their account in minutes via email, Google, or Facebook—verified by email and phone.
Everyone chooses their role: driver or passenger, switchable at any time.
The app matches them along similar routes, for scheduled or spontaneous trips.
Distance and contributions are tracked automatically—drivers never collect payouts, and no individual expense claims are needed.
Contributions become monthly donations to causes selected within the app.
Your company receives one consolidated monthly invoice with both components clearly itemized: the LinkToRide subscription package and the ride costs covered from your mobility budget. Zero individual receipts, zero administrative burden.
Every month, you receive a full program breakdown: active employee users, total shared distance, avoided emissions (calculated automatically via our Carbon Tool), and total funds donated to charitable causes. Board-ready metrics, delivered automatically.
Internal Stakeholders
HR
A benefit tied to a genuine daily need—the commute—that employees actively use without needing extra push. Internal rollout is fully supported by the LinkToRide team.
The exact launch package is confirmed during our initial meeting.
Finance
Program costs consist of two transparent components: the LinkToRide package scaled to your company size, and the mobility budget allocated for employee rides—whether full, partial, or a fixed monthly ride quota. One consolidated invoice, total visibility into usage.
ESG
Avoided carbon emissions are calculated automatically via integration with our Carbon Tool, drawing directly from real employee trips. Aggregated data provides a verifiable component for ESG reports and organizational sustainability strategy—proven impact, not just estimates.
Packages
The LinkToRide package covers platform access, reporting, support, and branding. It is tailored to your headcount:
Full platform functionality access · Monthly report with CO₂ impact estimates · Standard support
Everything in Basic, plus extended team features · Internal engagement campaigns · Priority support · In-app and internal communications branding
Everything in Growth, plus enterprise customizations · KPI and ESG impact reporting · Dedicated account manager · Fully custom branding
The subscription fee and mobility budget are sized together during the onboarding discussion. Separate from the package fee, your mobility budget remains 100% under your control at all times.
The Calculation
Company transport cost vs. traditional expense claims
Approximately 0% lower
The scenario: three employees making the same 20 km round-trip commute, 18 days per month.
Under traditional mileage reimbursement, the company covers fuel for each individual vehicle (7.5 L/100 km, at average petrol prices)—totaling around 770 de lei per month for all three.
With LinkToRide, all three share a single car, and the company covers the rides at 0.9 RON/km—amounting to roughly 320 de lei per month.
This calculation excludes parking and wear-and-tear; factoring those in makes the savings even higher.
This figure reflects direct transport costs only. The LinkToRide subscription package separately covers platform management, reporting, and ESG tracking.
Want a custom calculation based on your company's numbers? We'll prepare it for our 20-minute meeting—just bring your headcount and location.
Carbon Tool
LinkToRide is integrated with Carbon Tool, a platform specialized in carbon footprint calculations. The emissions reduced through shared rides are automatically calculated directly in the app, providing your company with verifiable data for sustainability initiatives and reporting—proof of real impact, not just intent.
Comparison
| Feature | Traditional Reimbursement | LinkToRide |
|---|---|---|
| Company Cost | Full expense cost, increasing year over year | Commute costs approximately 60% lower—full calculation and assumptions above |
| Financial Framework | Standard operational expense | Defined together with the company prior to the pilot |
| Environmental Impact | Zero—same number of cars, same emissions | Real emissions avoided, measured automatically via Carbon Tool |
| Employee Experience | An administrative expense claim, largely unnoticed | A company-backed commute, shared rides with colleagues, and a cause supported with every kilometer |
| Brand Impact | None | A genuine impact story generated directly by your employees |
The Pilot Program
We outline the program together in a single meeting: participant scope, suitable company package, and mobility budget allocation (full coverage, monthly free ride quotas, or team-based programs). Success metrics are clearly defined in writing.
Next comes employee onboarding: the LinkToRide team fully supports internal rollout.
The exact scope of rollout support is confirmed during our meeting.
Employees adopt the app at their own pace. You receive monthly reporting on participation rates, shared kilometers, avoided emissions, and donations generated.
At the 90-day mark, we review results against agreed success metrics. If the numbers speak for themselves, we extend the program; if not, the pilot simply concludes.
Exact commercial conditions for the pilot are confirmed during our initial meeting.
