uGoMyWay App takes aim at Cape Town traffic Recent research by TomTom shows that Cape Town has the most congested roads in South Africa. The city’s CBD is particularly hard hit by traffic delays. Now a new technology-based initiative has been launched to try to tackle the problem head-on. Accelerate Cape Town (ACT) has launched a carpooling pilot with the developers behind mobile app uGoMyWay to connect drivers and passengers in the hope of reducing the number of vehicles in the city centre. uGoMyWay allows users to create routine journeys such as home-to-work or home-to-school. Matches are then ranked and a chat function allows them to establish a dialogue before personal details are exchanged. Once this has taken place, users decide who will drive and what the shared costs will be. As an additional safety measure, users can also request to be a part of a ring-fenced community, which includes only members of their specific workplace or school.
