Long commutes.
Shared costs.

Herdy works in Perth right now. If you drive long distances to work every day, post your commute and let someone from your suburb split the cost. Perth commuters travel some of the longest distances in Australia — carpooling makes a significant difference.

Perth is Australia's most isolated capital and has some of the longest average commute distances. That makes the financial case for carpooling here stronger than almost anywhere else.

Why Perth

The case for carpooling in Perth

Perth commuters travel further than any other Australian capital on average. The Kwinana Freeway, Mitchell Freeway, and Great Eastern Highway carry massive commuter volumes, most of them solo drivers. With petrol at record prices and parking costs rising in the CBD, sharing a long commute with someone from your suburb isn't just convenient — it's a meaningful financial decision.

Herdy is already live in Sydney with hundreds of active rides. The same model works in Perth 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 Perth commuters to start posting their rides.

Is carpooling legal in WA?

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.
