Why Brisbane

The case for carpooling in Brisbane

Brisbane's urban sprawl and limited rail coverage beyond the inner city make carpooling a natural fit. The Gateway Motorway, Pacific Motorway, and Bruce Highway carry enormous commuter volumes every day. Fuel costs are high and parking in the CBD and fringe precincts is expensive. Every person who posts a ride on Herdy makes it easier for the next one.

Herdy is already live in Sydney with hundreds of active rides. The same model works in Brisbane from day one — the app is already there, the pricing engine is already there, the payments are already there. All that's needed is for Brisbane commuters to start posting their rides.

Is carpooling legal in QLD?

Yes — completely. Cost-sharing carpooling requires no commercial licence, permit, or special insurance anywhere in Australia. Read the full explainer →

How carpooling grows

Tell one person. That's how it starts.

Carpooling communities grow through word of mouth — a colleague who mentions it at the office, a neighbour who asks if you're heading the same way, a family member who realises you both commute the same corridor. The goodwill exists everywhere. The app makes it frictionless.

Share with colleagues

If you work in the same office, you're probably commuting from overlapping suburbs. Mention Herdy at the next team meeting or drop it in the work chat.

Talk to your neighbours

People who live near each other often commute in the same direction. Your street might have three people heading to the same precinct every morning.

Post in local groups

Your suburb's Facebook group or Nextdoor community is full of commuters going the same direction. A single post can connect you with five people heading your way.
