Jumpin Rides now has 5,000 registered members using its carpooling platform and services, as announced by its Co-Founder & Managing Director Pauline Du Paty this Monday morning. The milestone means that Jumpin Rides has doubled its audience in less than 3 months.

“As of this morning, the Jumpin Rides community is now officially 5,000 people. We are very proud of what we have achieved so far. We truly believe carpooling is the future of transportation both in South Africa and in other African countries” Pauline du Paty said on Monday.
