Would be cool if there was a "motorcycle" mode
Would be cool if there was a "motorcycle" mode which prioritized freeway driving (and gives even higher priority to any freeways with a carpool or express lane), or at least try not to make you go through a bunch of hoops to go around traffic. sadly I was listening what waze told me to do...getting on and off fwy and taking sidestreets, my journey took twice as long as had i ignored waze and stayed on freeway. But having a motorcycle mode would be great in getting better ETA, and make sure it doesn't "corrupt" others ETA, It be great…
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Precisam melhorar a comunicação entre motorista e pessoa que solicita a carona
Quando eu tento agendar uma carona para o dia seguinte e acho dois tipos de pessoas oferecendo carona, uma que está no aceite automático e outra no manual, é extremamente difícil falar com ambas pelo chat do app, e para as pessoas que estão no aceite automático chega a ser estressante o processo de entrar em contato com a pessoa, não atende ao telefone pois vem de um número fixo desconhecido, nem respondem as solicitações.
Entendo que parte dos problemas está relacionado aos usuários não saberem utilizar bem o app e sobre isso talvez vocês não possam fazer nada, porém…

Feature positioning on Map
We should be able to customize the layout of feature access or information displayed on screen. For my phone position it would be helpful to have the Speed Limit information in the bottom right. I also don't use the carpool feature. It would be nice if I could assign that spot to "settings". Or have the Google assistant button there instead. Or be able to move the information display to the top right when in horizontal mode.
Overall allow customization of information display. This will improve safety and enjoyment of the app.
P.s. bring back cookie monster

Enable Carpooling in Philippines
Please enable Carpooling in the Philippines. As many have also used Waze. And people are also looking for a better alternative from current transport system. But make it so that this is optional and non-intrusive.

Houston needs waze help!
We are in Houston. Post-Harvey. With a large percentage of Houston's transportation having lost access to their cars or mobility resources. Our city is not built around public transport. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider beta testing or opening the carpool app so that people in Houston can use it? Where I work (we have 50,000 people) coming and going every day, we could make a huge push for it. Please do consider!

Mulheres / Women
Olá!
Gostei muito da ideia de vocês, com relação ao "Waze Carpool", porém vejo uma situação da qual muitas mulheres ficam incomodadas pela falta de segurança e diversas vezes passo por lugares onde têm ponto de ônibus em que a mulher está sozinha e em alguns casos uma mulher e um ou mais homens, sendo que a mulher fica afastada com receio de algo com relação a este ou o grupo de homens.
Fui procurar outros aplicativos que trabalham com caronas e até encontrei outro já com disponibilidade de carona apenas com mulheres, tanto a motorista como as passageiras,…2 votesChanging this to Not Planned, as it doesn't fit on our roadmap in the near future.

Fraud Detection
Hi Team,
I haven't used waze carpool much but I have got to know that there is a bug in waze which allows users to make as much as 1500-2000 dollars every month by taking advantage of waze promotions. This is a big fraud which a lot of people are doing. Since waze does not check if the rider and driver actually drove to the destination, two people schedule rides for a week at once. They set the ride distance as far as possible. 5 dollars will be deducted from rider accounts but drivers will get 12 dollars because of…

Toll Transponder Preferences (for Exclusive Exits & Lanes)
In Pennsylvania (and other states, such as Florida) there are exits on toll roads that are only for holders of a certain toll transponder (such as E-ZPass) and have no cash facilities. Unlike all-electronic toll roads, using one of these ramps without a transponder is a "violation". There are also HOT (High Occupancy Toll) and Express lanes that require a transponder but may even allow for special transponders that give free rides to carpools.
Waze used to direct me to one of these ramps, which is closest to my house. However, likely because people without toll tags have been…

If Google Pay is the only option, i wont pick up carpoolers
Hi there Waze
Regarding picking up carpoolers, I think our compensation as drivers is a bit low, but more importantly, I don't wish to open a Google pay account, and that is why I've refrained from picking up carpoolers until now.
Perhaps if there was an option to link our credit cards/Israeli bank accounts/or even PayPal, I'd do it, but I'm not interested in a google pay account. Thanks1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Telling Driver to Turn
Two things.
Please provide more time to turn when you advise a driver to make a turn. In a 25 mph zone, it is fine. But if you are in a 50-60 mph zone, you are into the turn by the time Waze says turn or you are going past turn.
Secondly, stop having that green carpool thing pop up. It often pops up when I'm about to get to my turn which means I have to reach for my phone, slide the car pool thing off the screen to get back to my directions. Since I shouldn't be on…

Commute Mode
I would love to be able to set up a commute with stops. Maybe ask a few questions like:
How many stops do you have on your commute (kid drop off, passenger pick up for carpooling, coffee)?
Does your destination ever change? Be able to have different commute profiles.
Then ask how long you are at each stop normally.
If it is the normal route, then it will only warn you of traffic slows or hazards.
Bonus- If I am running late, set up someone to notify, husband or daycare provider ect.

make carpooling safer by enabling only verified users to use the system
make carpooling safer by enabling only verified users (government ids) to use the system and log each ride for a certain duration
currently people are concerned for their safety and are hesitant to ride with strangers
if it became known that all shared rides are logged with actual ids (in a private database), then that would deter potential predators and increase participation1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Ability to know future trip's full route when the starting point is NOT my current location.
If you schedule with someone to pick you up tomorrow, and you want to know what the possible routess for him will look like, from his home directly to the final destination, you cant do that now. There is a way to check a route from a point which isnt your current location, but only for right now. You cant plan a route from point x (x=not here) to destination in the future and view the possible routes for that trip. So if your friend wants to pick you up, but doesn't know where you should wait for him, the…

HOV Lane Exit Notifications at Every HOV exit
When using a route with an HOV Lane, Waze defaults to telling the driver to exit the HOV Lane at every HOV Lane Exit on the route, even though the HOV Lane is available on the entire route.
The driver should only be alerted to exit the HOV Lane if it's the exit they need to take because there is no HOV off-ramp, or there is an issue in the HOV Lane ahead of them.The exit notifications have caused me to miss a freeway transition roads since Waze doesn't want anyone using the HOV Lanes.

Want to sell my app idea, means to make carpooling efficient.
Delhi state of India has initiated Odd Even System(means to reduce pollution in the city where odd and even cars are run on alternative days). I have designed an app specially to make odd even efficient.I would like google to buy the app idea and encourage Delhi government to introduce Odd Even as it will reduce pollution and traffic in the city and could be replicated in other city also.

Preço da carona
Prezados, boa noite. Sou usuário do Wase há vários anos e desde abril de 2019 ofereço carona através Carpool. Já fiz 311 caronas, sendo mais de 13 mil km rodados. Primeiramente, gostaria agradecer pela ferramenta que é excelente. Muitos passageiros meus venderam seus carros e vão trabalhar e voltam pra casa comigo. Fiz novas amizades e subsidio os custos do carro com o que recebo. Contudo, com os ajustes nos valores que vocês efetuaram esta semana, ficará inviável a continuidade da utilização do aplicativo, principalmente para quem pega carona. Enquanto motorista, não sentirei tanta diferença, financeiramente falando, apesar de…

Add highway exits
