About Bóthar

Bóthar is a community-first car-pooling platform for rural Ireland. We connect drivers and passengers on the same route to reduce solo driving, save money, and improve safety. Our approach is rooted in the idea that better connected rural commutes make Ireland more liveable and economically resilient.

The problem

Many rural areas have unreliable or no public transport. Parents shoulder school runs, commuters face long drives, and impaired driving remains a serious issue. 70% of drivers in Ireland drive alone — Bóthar helps reduce that number with reliable community rides.

How we help

• Match drivers and passengers travelling the same route in real-time.
• On-chain reputation on Solana to reward reliable, safe drivers.
• Designed for privacy and community use — not a commercial taxi service.
