BlaBlaCar surpasses one million passenger car seats in Belgium

One year after its launch in Belgium, the carpooling site BlaBlaCar has surpassed the one million proposed seats, said the provider in a statement on Thursday. "The results of this first year are very positive: BlaBlaCar is experiencing a real enthusiasm in Belgium", said Nicolas Brusson, CEO and co-founder of BlaBlaCar. "We are bringing new freedom of movement to our Belgian users and responding to a real need and we will continue our efforts to further expand our loyal community in Belgium."

BlaBlaCar expects a peak use of the service during the weekend of May 1. "BlaBlaCar is already experiencing an increase in activity of more than 50% as the weekend extended from 1 May to a week-long weekend. Indeed, these long weekends are an opportunity for drivers to share their travel costs and thus save considerable amounts of money on their budgets. For passengers, BlaBlaCar is a very affordable travel solution, even for a last-minute ride", said BlaBlaCar.

According to BlaBlaCar statistics, the Belgian member is 33 years old on average and more than four users out of 10 (44%) are women. The average distance of published journeys is 205 km.
