hereIndividual trips registered for the next 12 months: All of the regular, one-off and occasional journeys that are registered on the Liftshare system. This figure records all of the individual one-way journeys, so a regular journey would be counted as 472 one-way journeys in a year!

All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereEach time a member contacts another member about sharing their journey we ask them to let us know if the match was successful and that they are now sharing the journey.
The average Liftshare share rate = Unique* number of journeys shared / (unique number of journeys shared + unique number of journeys not shared)
*Unique: To avoid double counting we ensure that each matched journey is only counted once.
