London · commuter research

Would you share your commute with someone already driving your way?

Conductor runs in Lagos today. Car owners publish the commute they already drive; passengers book a seat for the week; the fare is agreed up front and held until each day is done. We're looking at London next — so we ran the passenger app on London routes to show you exactly what it would look like, then we'd like two minutes of your time.

Three passenger app screens on London routes: the map of commutes near Clapham, the Clapham to Canary Wharf trip, and the wallet showing money held in escrow

Open the map and every published commute near you is on it — where it leaves from, when, and how long it takes. This is Clapham on a weekday morning.

2Compare the price per day, the days, the owner

Same trips as a list. Monday-to-Friday chips, a price per day, seats left, and the car owner — verified, with their rating and trip count.

4Request a seat — the owner decides

Nobody is assigned to anyone. You ask for a seat; the car owner sees your profile and approves or declines. Both sides choose.

5Approved? Pay for the week to lock it

Once approved you pay for the week up front — £28.50 for five days here, fees included. Pay in the window or the seat goes back on the market.

Wallet screen explaining escrow: paid into escrow, released to the car owner after each completed day

6Your money is held, then released day by day

Payment sits in escrow, not with the driver. Each day you actually ride, that day's share is released. Cancel a day in time and it comes back to you.

These are screenshots of the live Conductor passenger app with London trips loaded. Prices are illustrative — London fares would be set for London costs — and the car owner shown is a test account.

The money, in three lines

The fare is fixed before you book

One price per day for the seat, shown before you request it. No surge, no meter, no negotiating in the car.

Paid up front, held in escrow

You pay for the week when the owner approves you. Conductor holds the money — the driver doesn't get it yet.

Released one day at a time

After each day's ride, that day's share goes to the car owner. A day that doesn't happen is refunded to you.

The survey

Tell us about your commute.

Nine quick questions — where you go, how you get there today, and whether a seat in a verified neighbour's car would work for you. It's the same set of questions the app asks our Lagos passengers, so we can compare like with like.
