BlaBlaCar, a French rideshare rival to Uber and Lyft, became a volunteer network during COVID-19, and drivers delivered essentials to those in need. It highlights the cultural chasm between it and its gig-economy competitors.
BlaBlaHelp was the result of a week-long hackathon, which began after around 50 BlaBlaCar drivers decided they wanted to help others during the pandemic. The app connects volunteers, called Helpers, with neighbors in need of groceries or medication.
To participate, a BlaBlaCar user just needs to connect their existing account to the BlaBlaHelp app. From there, others in the area can see a brief bio and their star rating, imported from BlaBlaCar. Once a Helper lists themselves as available, they are connected to a neighbor in need.
