Abbreviations for location information in TwoGo are used as aliases for addresses in full length. This ensures that addresses are entered correctly when using a calendar application.

The number of possible characters in the Places field for the appointment request is limited, and entering addresses repeatedly is time-consuming and error-prone. For this reason, it is necessary that you define preferred locations in your profile for addresses that you use particularly frequently. In the appointment request, you then only have to name the abbreviations for the locations in question as pick-up and destination points. TwoGo then determines the address that you have saved for the abbreviation in question and searches for a suitable driver / passenger for you for the calculated route.

Please note: If a match is found for your desired journey, the other person will not see the abbreviation (e.g. "HOME"). Only the address assigned to this abbreviation is displayed.

A preferred location:

• Web: Select Saved locations, then enter the city, postcode, street name and house number of the Create Preferred Location card Place. Select the full address from the list of suggestions that TwoGo displays. Enter a meaningful short name for the location in the Short name field. Enter a meaningful note in the Meeting point field to precisely describe the meeting point for the passengers, and then select Save. The new location is now available as a new map with the specified short name in your set of saved locations.
• Mobile: Select Places, then [+], enter the address details as described above, and select Create.

Since there are some addresses that cannot be identified by the navigation system used by TwoGo, you have the option of entering the exact address yourself in the web application by marking it on a map.

On the Create Preferred Location card, enter as much detail as possible in the Address field, then press Enter to accept the address as entered. TwoGo places a pushpin on the map to roughly mark the entered address. Pull the pushpin in place. TwoGo places the pushpin on the closest possible drivable street to the point you specified and updates the Address field accordingly. To correct or improve the address for the new position of the pushpin, move the mouse pointer over the pushpin and click on the Are our map details incorrect? on yes. TwoGo automatically resets the address to the one you originally entered in the Address field.

TwoGo saves the address exactly as you entered it, along with the position marker coordinates on the map. These are the details that other users will see in their appointment requests when they are offered a lift that includes this location.

order for your driver to be able to find you or for you to be able to find your passengers, you must provide a full address with house number. If your address is not found the house number, info@twogo.com so that we can contact our card provider can pass on.

If you do not use abbreviations for the places, the full address is required. Set the details for the departure time and location of your car pool on the New Trip (web) card or on the New Trip (mobile) screen. Enter the city, postcode, street and house number of the starting point and destination, and then select the full addresses from the list of suggestions that TwoGo will suggest. Choose Save.

TwoGo adds your new trip request as a new tab in the overview (web) or as a new entry in your My Trips list (mobile).

As the initial view, our map provider shows Berlin on the map. Before you enter an address, Berlin is therefore displayed as the initial view.

First you have to register with TwoGo and verify your email address. You can then either create a trip request or search for an existing trip and take part in it:

• Web: Use the New trip card in the overview to specify how often you would like a lift, as well as the details for the location and, if applicable, a special route that you would like to take on the journey. Choose Save. The trip request is now displayed as a new map in the overview.
• Mobile: On the My Trips screen, select the Advanced Mode option and set the details for the time and location of the trip. Tap the save icon. The trip request is now listed on the My Trips screen.
• Calendar: Create your journey request as an appointment request in your calendar and send it to ride@twogo.com

The Quick Guide - Ride requests provides further information on creating a ride request.

There are no restrictions in this regard. It is recommended that you submit travel requests a few days in advance to improve the chances of finding a lift for you. However, TwoGo can also arrange an immediate ride without any lead time, provided that suitable drivers / passengers are available.

In the overview, select the Search option, enter details for the location and time and whether you want to participate as a driver, passenger or both. Choose Search. If a suitable ride is available, click the appropriate option to join next to the ride you want. TwoGo will now automatically add you to the car pool.

If there is still no suitable trip, you can save your search as a trip request. Click the Create Ride As option you want. TwoGo displays the journey you want, and you can make changes to it. Choose Save.

If your employer reimburses you for a trip, it is a business trip. You can use the Business trip check box to mark your trip as such when creating or editing a trip request. The following differences arise for a business trip:

• TwoGo restricts your search so that you are only shown trips with colleagues or a specific group within your organization.
• There is no portion to be paid for the driver or passengers (as the costs of this journey are reimbursed by your employer).
• The map for the journey differs in the overview by an .

You can specify a temporary vehicle directly on the journey for which you want to use it. When you create or edit a drive request, select Show driver settings, then select Vehicle from the drop-down list, then Temporary vehicle (rental car, car sharing car, car from fleet) and then Save.

If there is a suitable car pool in the system, TwoGo will immediately offer you a hit. Otherwise you will receive a hit and a corresponding notification from TwoGo as soon as another user submits a suitable trip request. You will receive the last hits from TwoGo 5 minutes before the desired travel time. You can also check the status of your journey yourself at any time:

• Web: under overview.
• Mobile: On the picture My trips.
• Calendar: TwoGo sends an appointment request with the details of the lift you have found.
• SMS: If you provide a cell phone number and activate TwoGo SMS notifications, TwoGo will send you the details via SMS.

If TwoGo cannot find a suitable match for your journey, you can check whether there are similar alternative journeys and accept a suitable suggestion. These alternatives have minor changes to your original driving settings. If TwoGo finds similar alternatives, a list will be suggested for you to choose from. The suggestions are sorted according to the closest possible match with your original travel request. You can view the list in the web application, in apps, or via email notification (provided you have not opted out of this service).

• Web and mobile: In the overview (web) or on the My journeys (mobile) screen, select the journey you want for which no lift could be found.
• E-Mail: TwoGo will notify you of your preferred journey via a link in the e-mail. Click Show Alternatives.

Select the suggestion you want, then click Apply Changes. TwoGo updates the map with the trip request with the new details of the ride.

In addition, TwoGo (if available) shows a list of alternatives in local public transport and company shuttle services for your route.

If no alternatives are available, you will have to manually change your journey yourself in order to make major adjustments, e.g. B. on the times, settings, adapted routes, etc.

Simply click on any trip to open TwoGo and create a trip request. TwoGo then searches for the most suitable ride. However, depending on availability and your respective criteria, it may be that this is not the trip that you clicked on in the schedule.

• Web: Enter the time and the places for the outward journey on the New journey card, mark the checkbox As return journey, enter Enter the details for the return trip, then click Save.
• Mobile: On the My Trips screen, select the Advanced mode option and specify the details for the times and locations for the outward journey. Then select As round trip (Android) or return trip (iOS), enter the details for the return trip and tap on the icon to save (Android) or on Create (iOS).
• Calendar: So that TwoGo can recognize the outward and return journeys, the appointment requests in the Location field must always be numbered in the correct order.

In the following you will find an example of the information required for a typical journey in the morning to the place with the abbreviation “WORK” and back to the place with the abbreviation “HOME” in the evening : (Entries in the Location field are always in English)

1: HOME to WORK (from home to work) as a passenger
2: WORK to HOME (from work to home) as a passenger

NOTE: In the case of longer repetition periods (e.g. every 3rd of the month), we recommend that you set up the desired journey via your calendar.

• Web: For regular weekly trips, click Regularly on the New Trip card, then select the days of the week you want this trip to take place and the days to start repeating and should end. The Repeat card, the last card in the overview, gives you an overview of your series travel requests. In addition, a separate map is displayed in the overview for each of the series trips that you set up for the next week.
< liMobil: On the My journeys screen, select the Advanced mode option, specify the details for the times and locations for the journey, select Repeat, and specify when and how often these journeys are repeated should be.
• Calendar: Create your journey request as an appointment request, set the desired driving rhythm and send your journey request to info @ twogo.com .

If the series drive request you have created is valid and is within the repetition period defined by your administrator (e.g. within seven days), TwoGo will immediately confirm it. However, if your trips are planned later, TwoGo will only send you the confirmation at the beginning of the repetition period within which the trip takes place (in this example, seven days before the date on which the trip is scheduled).
NOTE: If you have canceled your subscription to TwoGo receipts, you will not receive these initial appointment requests, but you will still receive the confirmation appointment requests if TwoGo finds matches for your travel requests.

The Repetition card, the last card in the overview, gives you an overview of your series travel requests. In addition, a separate map is displayed in the overview for each of the series trips that you set up for the next week. If your travel requests extend over a longer period of time, TwoGo displays these trips continuously for each additional period of seven days. Accordingly, if you have subscribed to the TwoGo confirmations, you will also receive these confirmations continuously on the basis of this seven-day period.

EXAMPLES

SCENARIO 1: You create series travel requests from the current date for a month.

• Today: In the overview trips for days 1 to 7 are displayed and confirmed in your calendar (if you have subscribed to TwoGo confirmations). An overview of your series travel requests is displayed on the Repeat card, which remains visible for the entire duration of the series travel requests.
• Day 2: Journeys for the 8th day are displayed.
• Day 3: Journeys for the 9th day are displayed.
• It continues accordingly until TwoGo has confirmed all of your travel requests for the month.

SCENARIO 2: Today is February 6th, and you want to change a trip to a series trip that is scheduled for February 18th.

• Today, February 6th: Since the trip will not take place within the next seven days, it will not yet be displayed in the overview or confirmed in your calendar.
• February 12 (i.e. seven days before the trip): The updated trip is displayed in the overview and you will receive the corresponding confirmation from TwoGo.

The time frame you specified for your original series drive was very tight, but still feasible. Now, however, our map data shows that some factors have changed that have an impact on your original travel settings (e.g. new detours that increase your travel time, roadworks on your route that prevent you from reaching the destination address by car etc.). Due to these factors, the journey is no longer possible in the original time frame.

The e-mail informs you that you have to process your series trip requests in order to allow more time for the trip. We propose a new time frame in the email. You can simply click on the link provided to open and edit the series drive and make the necessary changes. On the Repeat card, the last card in the overview, you can also process your series travel requests.

How to change a trip request:

• Web and mobile: Mark the corresponding trip request in the overview (or on the My trips screen for mobile applications) and then select the symbol to edit. Change any details, then click Update (or tap the save icon in mobile apps).
• Calendar: Update the appointment request in the calendar and send an update to TwoGo.

• Web: If you want to deviate from the suggested route at a certain point, move the mouse pointer over the exact position on the New route map until a black circle will appear and drag it to the desired waypoint. TwoGo places a gray marker on the street closest to this position. If this is not the position you want, you can move the marker freely. Click on Save if it is a new journey request, or on Update if you are editing an existing journey request.
• Mobile and Calendar: You must first use the web application to customize the route used between the two locations. If you then create a travel request between these locations in the mobile apps or the calendar, TwoGo automatically uses the adjusted route.

You can override your driver-related settings for individual journeys:

• Web: Select the desired journey in the overview and then set the desired options in the Journey areas on the New journey card as and (if applicable) settings as driver.
• Mobile: On the Settings screen, select the Commute option and set the desired options.
• Calendar: When you create the appointment request, you can only change your driver / passenger settings. In the Location field, after you have entered the short names for the route, enter the following additional information:
  • as driver or passenger: to either be a driver or passenger
  • as driver: to only to be considered as a driver
  • as a passenger: to only be considered as a passenger

NOTE: For the first two options, you must have already registered a vehicle in your profile.

How to delete a trip request:

• Web and mobile: Mark the corresponding trip request in the overview (or on the My trips screen for mobile applications) and then select the symbol to delete.
• Calendar: Delete the original appointment request.

By default, you will receive suggestions from all users in the TwoGo system, unless you are logged in through a company that has restricted the search to the group of members of the company. Within a company, you can further restrict the group of possible passengers to a certain group.

If you are registered with TwoGo through your company and this includes a number of different groups, you can limit the circle of possible passengers to a small subgroup of these groups.

• Web: Click Settings, select the Driving Settings card, and then in the Driving With section, select the group that will provide you with suggestions want. Choose Save.

NOTE: The settings will be applied to all further trips that you create or change.

• Mobile and Calendar: You must first use the web application to specify the group from which you would like to receive suggestions. If you then create a trip request in the mobile apps or in the calendar, TwoGo automatically uses your settings for possible suggestions.

There will likely be some people you want to expel, or you've run into users who repeatedly canceled at the last minute or didn't show up at all. To exclude these people from potential driving hits, do the following:

• Web: Click on their name and select Blocked People. Click Add, enter the person's name, and then select Save.
• Mobile and Calendar: You must first use the web applications to block users you want to ban. If you then create a journey request in the mobile apps or in the calendar, TwoGo automatically applies your settings for blocked users.

NOTE: If you are a passenger of a shuttle service or a vehicle with more than six people, your settings regarding blocked people will not be taken into account by TwoGo.

NOTE: Only applicable if the social networking function is activated in your system. Yes, it's very easy to let your followers know about your ride and invite them to ride with you. For journeys for which there are still vacancies, select the relevant map in the overview and select , to publish your trip details on your social network.

You can publish rides for which ridesharing was found and those for which none were found for your followers. In the overview, select the map with the corresponding trip, click on the symbol to publish and then on the TwoGo symbol. Select people from your list of followers, then select Close.

In the overview, published trips are displayed in chronological order in addition to your own trips. You can use the filter arrow in the overview menu to limit the display to the trips you want to see.

No. When creating a return trip, TwoGo also takes into account hits that only cover a part of the trip. So you may be driving to work with one user and driving back with another. This is to increase the chance of hits.

If you select the role of passenger or driver / passenger, your journey will only be confirmed if TwoGo finds hits for both legs of the journey. This is to prevent situations in which, for example, you can get a ride to work but then not get a ride back home from work.

On the Settings for the journey tab, you can select the option Ride as a passenger, even if a match is only found for one route of the round trip. If this option is activated, TwoGo will confirm your trip even if a hit was found for only one route of the trip. Selecting this option is only recommended if you have alternative travel options if needed. For example, if you want to go to work and back with TwoGo, but you might also use public transport to get home, you can select this option.

All travel time calculations are based on historical or current traffic information. This allows TwoGo to suggest different routes based on the day and time you want to travel.

The detours calculated in TwoGo are given in minutes instead of kilometers. This makes the estimate of the detour more accurate. As a driver, you have the option of entering your own detour tolerance in your profile. The minimum allowed is 3 minutes, the maximum is 99 and the default is 8. If TwoGo suggests multiple carpooling, you will of course be offered the option with the smallest detour.

• Web: Click your name, select Settings to view your driving options, and then set a detour time that is acceptable to you.
• Mobile: On the Settings screen, select the Commute option, and then set a detour time that is acceptable for you.

When you register with TwoGo, you automatically have a subscription to the following e-mail notifications:

• Calendar updates to confirm your journey and any changes you make to it
• Suggestions for carpooling for the next working day
• Alternatives for journeys for which no hits were found
• Confirmed journeys as calendar updates

To change your subscription settings:

• Click your name and select Notifications.
• Disable the option for the type (s) of emails that you no longer want to receive.
• For trip confirmations, select SMS to receive notifications via SMS instead.
• Choose Save.

Alternatively, you can unsubscribe directly from the respective e-mail:

• Select the Unsubscribe link in the body of the e-mail, and send the generated e-mail to info@twogo.com .

If the link to cancel the subscription does not open automatically in your e-mail application, you can cancel the subscription manually by sending an e-mail to TwoGo in the following format:

• FROM:
• TO: info@twogo.com
• SUBJECT:
  • unsubscribeMeetingRequests (for calendar confirmations)
  • unsubscribe (for suggestions for carpooling)
  • unsubscribeProposals (for suggestions for alternative trips)

To help you find a lift, we are compiling a list of possible hits in your neighborhood for the next working day. By simply selecting the link next to your preferred proposal, you can open or download an appointment request, which you can then send to . You can edit the template like any other appointment request. Be aware, however, that changing the original template may reduce the chances of getting a lift.

Please note: The suggestions you receive do not automatically guarantee an exact match. They will be selected at the time the proposal email is sent. It is therefore possible that if the free spaces are already occupied by the time you answer, the passenger has already been referred to another driver, or a user has changed his appointment request in the meantime, and the ride is no longer available can be created.

Read the content of TwoGo's automatically generated appointment requests carefully. They contain important information for every stage of your journey. TwoGo sends the following appointment requests:

• A confirmation of receipt of the appointment request (only applies if you have not canceled the subscription to TwoGo receipts): TwoGo sends this appointment request to indicate that your journey request has been received. The appointment request blocks your calendar from the earliest possible departure time to the latest possible arrival time that you have specified and contains all the information that TwoGo uses to arrange your ride.
• A rejection of the appointment request (only applies if you have created the trip request in your calendar and it contains errors): TwoGo sends this appointment request to reject the trip request. The appointment request indicates the error and contains useful information on how to correct the appointment request.
• A confirmation of the appointment request: If the system finds a hit, TwoGo sends an appointment request with a confirmation of the exact departure and arrival time of your carpool. The appointment request contains a itinerary with times for the planned lift and information about your fellow travelers. If you have subscribed to TwoGo receipts, this confirmation will simply update the original appointment request that you received for this trip. You must accept this confirmation of the appointment request without changing it.

Most of the content is based on system assumptions. Regardless of whether you are a driver or a passenger, check that the information is correct and save the appointment requests so that you can refer to the information at a later time if necessary.

TwoGo does not know the format of your message. To solve this problem, make sure that there is a contact in your Outlook called ride@twogo.com that is used for Sending e-mail is configured in plain text format.

For more help on changing the message format, see [1]

If there is a suitable car pool in the system, TwoGo will immediately offer you a hit. Otherwise you will receive a hit and a corresponding notification from TwoGo as soon as another user submits a suitable trip request. You will receive the last hits from TwoGo 5 minutes before the desired travel time. You can also check the status of your journey yourself at any time:

• Web: under overview.
• Mobile: On the picture My trips.
• Calendar: TwoGo sends an appointment request with the details of the lift you have found.
• SMS: If you provide a cell phone number and activate TwoGo SMS notifications, TwoGo will send you the details via SMS.

If TwoGo notifies you of a hit, this trip is already set up. So you don't have to confirm anything. However, if you cannot accept the trip, please change or cancel your trip request.

TwoGo always tries to find matches based on the settings you have specified. If a ride does not suit you as a driver, you can change your settings for this specific journey and then submit it again. Alternatively, update your default settings, delete your desired trip and create a new one so that TwoGo can use the updated settings to find a suitable trip.

• Web: In the overview, TwoGo updates the details of the upcoming trip directly on the map for the trip.
• Mobile: TwoGo displays a notification next to the TwoGo app icon (iOS) or in the notification bar (Android). In addition, TwoGo sends a message to your TwoGo inbox.
• Calendar: You can use the standard reminder function in the calendar. TwoGo sends all invitations for arranged shared trips with a default reminder time of 15 minutes. However, you can change this setting in your calendar yourself at any time by double-clicking on the relevant appointment and making the desired changes.

• Calendar: You will be informed of changes by updating the appointment request.
• SMS notifications: If you have activated Enable TwoGo SMS notifications, TwoGo will send you the details via SMS.
• Mobile: You can select Settings > App to enable push notifications.

order for this process to run smoothly, however, it is crucial that every user always informs TwoGo of any changes to their plans as soon as possible by editing their journey request:

• Web: Select the desired trip in the overview and then select the symbol to edit. Change the information and then choose Update.
• Mobile: Select the relevant trip on the My Trips screen, tap on the "Edit" icon and make the required changes.
• Calendar: Update the appointment request in the calendar and send an update to TwoGo.

In the event of major delays or delays that you know about well in advance, please change your journey preferences. TwoGo will then inform the other persons concerned for you:

• Web: Select the desired journey in the overview and then select the symbol to edit. Change the information and then choose Update.
• Mobile: For every trip found in your My Trips picture, there is contact information for all participants in this trip. You can send a predefined SMS (e.g. I'll be 5 minutes late) or your own message.
• Calendar: Change the appointment request in the calendar and send an update to TwoGo.

In the event of minor changes or changes that are made at short notice, please call the driver / passenger and notify them yourself, or call the TwoGo Helpdesk.

In order to keep the inconvenience for your passengers as low as possible, make any necessary changes or cancellations of TwoGo ridesharing opportunities as early as possible. If this happens at very short notice and a joint ride with other participants has already been arranged, also notify the driver / passenger directly by phone using the contact information provided in the confirmed details for your car pool.

• Web and mobile: In the overview (or on the My journeys screen of your mobile application), select the desired journey and then select the symbol for Edit or delete.
• Calendar: To change the details of the lift, update the appointment request in your calendar and send the update to TwoGo. To delete the lift, delete the appointment request and send a cancellation to TwoGo.

If you cancel the lift in the morning, the passenger may still have the opportunity to find an alternative. If this happens in the evening, please try, if possible, to just postpone the trip instead of canceling it entirely. Your passengers may be ready to drive at a later point in time.

The contact details for each trip together are stored on the corresponding map of the trip (web and mobile) and in your calendar entry. The details are there until the end of the journey together. If you need help, call the TwoGo Helpdesk.

As a rule, you will be picked up and dropped off at the address you specified. In practice, however, it may occasionally be faster to cover short distances on foot instead of by car in the following cases:

• If your departure address is no more than 300 meters from the driver's departure address, In the TwoGo confirmation of the lift, you will be asked to go to the driver's departure address. The same goes for your address and the destination address of the driver.
• If your departure address is no more than 300 m from the departure address of a passenger, you will be asked to move to a different departure address. In this case, TwoGo selects a meeting point for both passengers so that the driver does not have to stop twice within a short period of time.

Your TwoGo confirmation of the lift ticket always contains your actual departure and destination addresses, so that you can find out in advance what you need to be prepared for. If the walk is unacceptable, please advise the driver of this before driving.

NOTE: This only applies if the trip is not a business trip and TwoGo has activated the payment function either in your account or that of the driver with whom you are carpooling . When TwoGo notifies you of a hit, it also includes an estimate of your share of the travel expenses. This estimate is shown on the picture with the details of the trip and in the trip confirmation appointment requests that TwoGo sends.

This value is based on average cars, average gasoline consumption and average fuel prices. The value is intended to cover the vehicle's operating costs and distribute them evenly. NOTE: Since TwoGo is not intended for the driver to earn money with the passengers, the costs per kilometer were intentionally set relatively low so that the total costs for all passengers are no more than the journey for would have cost the driver alone.

The estimate is country-specific, but the formula is generally based on the following information:

• Fixed costs per kilometer
• Number of participants in the journey (more Passengers lead to lower costs for the individual)
• Minimum amount per trip

Please note that the estimate is only a rough approximation of the actual cost of the trip. It depends on each passenger whether he or she wants to pay the amount displayed, suggest a different amount or pay nothing at all.

Following someone means you can see the rides that person posts for their followers. You will receive a notification and have the opportunity to ride. Published trips are shown directly in your overview, and if you have activated the corresponding option under Notifications, you will also receive an email notification. So you have the opportunity to take part in a ride that interests you by simply clicking on the option to join. On the Followers tab, you can use the Following list to set who you want to follow.

NOTE: The following function is not reciprocal. You can't post for people unless they are following you too.

Users who follow you will appear in your list of your followers:

• People you have ridden with or are currently carpooling with in the last six weeks the opportunity to follow you. When they add you to their following list, they'll become your followers.
• Furthermore, people who you have invited to follow you via the + symbol in the list of followers.
• People you invited to follow you in the past but have since blocked will still appear in your list of your followers. However, they are marked as blocked and cannot see the journeys you have published.

If there is someone who is following you but you no longer want them to, you can block that person; But you can't remove them or stop them from following you. This way, these people will continue to believe that they are following you, but will not notice when you publish trips for your followers.

You can easily follow others by selecting them from the following list. TwoGo compiles this list of people you've been driving with or are currently carpooling with in the past six weeks, as well as people who are already following you.

In the TwoGo privacy policy you will find further information on how we protect your data.

These are anonymized values. If there is only a small amount of random samples available when generating the report, we must ensure anonymity for data protection reasons even if someone has additional knowledge about this user. For example, suppose you are viewing statistics for an anonymous user with an address in city X; if you know that there is only one colleague who lives in city X, you immediately know who it is. Therefore, whenever a report has fewer than five users, some values are anonymized and either replaced with a series of asterisks or left blank.

Everyone can register as a private person. If your employer has a license for the TwoGo service, you can decide whether you want to register as a private person or as an employee. If your organization would like more information about TwoGo, click on Use TwoGo for Your Organization at www.twogo.com .

First you have to register with TwoGo and verify your email address. You can then either create a trip request or search for an existing trip and take part in it:

• Web: Use the New trip card in the overview to specify how often you would like a lift, as well as the details for the location and, if applicable, a special route that you would like to take on the journey. Choose Save. The trip request is now displayed as a new map in the overview.

The Quick Guide - Trip Requests provides further information on creating a trip request.

When you register with TwoGo, you set an address as your preferred pick-up point. You can avoid revealing your private address by using a secure public place nearby instead. TwoGo automatically converts it to a location with the abbreviation HOME. So you can use this address quickly and easily in your travel wishes and also receive travel suggestions from TwoGo for possible hits in your neighborhood.

You can register without a phone number. When you create your first trip request, however, you must provide a telephone number so that your passengers can contact you and so that you do not miss any current information about your trips (via SMS notification).

NOTE: This only applies to organizations that request an ID to identify their employees.

In certain cases an organization allows its employees to register for their TwoGo service with their personal e-mail address and a special invitation token instead of a company e-mail address. In the case of the private email option, some organizations may explicitly request an ID to identify employees during registration. In this case, you must enter a recognized reference that identifies you as belonging to the organization. If you are an employee, this reference is the employee ID.
