Google says there's no Waze forward, carpool app axed
The number of people commuting dropped during COVID-19 as workers deemed non-essential toiled from home, or were laid off or furloughed. Although staff are returning to the office, depending on where you are, plenty are not going in five days a week like before. Some companies have embraced remote work, and are letting staff work from home permanently, which hurt Waze's potential market.
"We want to continue to make a real-world impact by doubling down on helping cities address mobility problems such as congestion, safety, sustainability and cost. In order for us to achieve this we will be retiring the Waze Carpool service to focus the company's efforts on better supporting drivers on the road today.
Waze said it has grown to 150 million monthly active users and said it has one of the most robust real-time traffic data sets across multiple cities. The Waze app will be available for drivers for navigation purposes, and only the carpool feature is being discontinued. ®
