BUM A LIFT

Bum A Lift is Malta's first online, cloud-based car pooling (ride sharing) platform. Bum a Lift users can get a free ride to any destination or offer a lift to passegers who are going in the same direction. Bum a Lift claims that a portion of its revenue is distributed amongst the most successful drivers, based on the number of positive lifts given, however it mentions in its terms and conditions that this formula could be revised in the future to cater for longer distances and a larger user base. Bum a Lift generates its revenue from advertisements targeted to the public transportation industry, which show up as sponsored routes in the search results and from private bum networks which are available against a license fee and restrict access to users from a company or organization.
