Your campus.
Your people.Your next adventure.
Planned ridesharing for verified students heading the same way and the people and plans around them.
A 9 AM lecture, a lab across town, a grocery run at six. On-demand apps price every one of those as a solo trip while the seats beside you stay empty. Ronnect is the other way round: planned trips between students who are going the same way.
Connect. Share. Save.Travel. Sustain.
Shared ride
Four seats, four students, one plan
Why planned
On-demand rides were never built for a campus day.
Transit goes the opposite way from where you need to be. Ride-hailing prices every journey as if you were travelling alone and the empty seats pull away with the car.
Priced by the trip
Every seat you were not going to use costs you full price.
Empty seats leave with the car
A driver running solo saves fuel, so sharing rarely gets offered.
Plans move faster than ETAs
Class ends at nine. Your ride should already have been posted.
A campus day, spread across a real place
How it works
Three steps. One seat at a time.
Either side of the trip can start it. Both end with a person approving a seat.
01
Post where you're going
Drivers post a trip: destination, departure time, seats left. Riders post a request: where and when. Either way it starts with a plan, not a hail.
02
Students your way request in
Only verified students at your campus can see the board. Requests show the route and the time, so nobody is guessing.
03
You confirm, split, connect
You approve who rides with you and how many seats. Cost is shared rather than surged and afterwards the conversation can keep going.
Built for the way students actually move
- Early lectures, late labs, and everything in between
- Fewer cars carrying the same number of people
- Institution-verified, so the network stays a student network
Not on-demand. Deliberately.
Ronnect is not a taxi and not a hail service. A trip has to be planned by somebody, which is exactly why the seats are cheap and the people are known.
Ride Boards
One board. Three kinds of post.
Rides going somewhere, students who need a ride, and plans that are not transport yet. All on a single board with filters, so nothing is hidden in a separate tab.

The social side
The ride is where it starts.
Traditional ride apps ask where you are going. Ronnect asks two more questions: who might you go with, and what you could do together. Rides create connections, connections create plans, and plans create more rides.

Ride Buddies
Keep the people you got along with, and plan the next trip with them.
Activity posts
Share what you are into. A café, a match, a market and see who is going.
Join my trip
Post an outing, invite your buddies, and let verified students request a seat.
Discover together
Events and places picked from your interests, not an ad budget.
Trust
Verified students. Approved seats. Your privacy.
Expanding the social side should make a student network safer, not looser. Sharing a seat never shares your feed, your address or your live location.
Institution-verified accounts
Only eligible students join a campus network.
Driver approves every seat
Invitations are requests, not bookings.
Privacy controls
Choose who sees your plans. Buddies, campus, or invitees.
Report and block
One tap, enforced immediately.
For drivers
Fill the seats you would have left empty.
You already drive to campus, to the store, home for the weekend. Post those trips, decide who rides with you, and share the cost with people heading your way.
Your schedule
Post the trips that already fit your week.
Your approval
Choose every rider yourself, every time.
Where we are
One city. One campus community. Three phases.
Ronnect is not live everywhere. We open one campus network at a time, and we say what is built.

What we are building toward
A network where every campus has a board worth opening on a Monday morning and where the person you shared a ride with in September is the reason you opened it in October.

Early access is invite-only and opens campus by campus. If you study in Halifax, Nova Scotia, or you drive there every day, we want you in the first cohort.
The apps are still in build. Join the list and we will tell you the day yours is live. The badges above take you there, not to a store that does not have us yet.
