Make new connections CommuteCompanion offers you the opportunity to connect with your fellow commuters, build new valuable and meaningful community relationships with those you choose to get in touch with. We bring you the profiles and preferences of those commuters near you easily and hassle free. All you need is a valid email address and the name of the stations you use or town where you live or work to get started.
	Connect to other commuters in the neighbourhood Share a laugh, start the morning relaxed, chill out and wind down before you get home. A random chat, a compliment or simply saying hello will make a difference. Commuting can be relaxing as well when you start looking forward to it. Exploit the full potential of commuting and make use of the wasted time, experience more about the UK, the world and learn and share ideas from first hand sources directly from ”the real people” that encompass diversity of our daily commute.
	Make new “real” and not “virtual” friends in the neighbourhood Your fellow commuters can also make great friends if you get to know them. We give you the opportunity to find fellow commuters you can connect with as a result of your commute, provided you have not found one yet.. Meet real people you can interact with, discuss issues relating to your jobs, tap into the vast experiences that surround you and benefit from belonging to the commuting community. We feel uncomfortable and lonely in some instances because we do not trust the “intimate strangers” we see everyday. If we get to break the “ice” we will feel comfortable, relaxed and enjoy most of the commute if we choose to. Commuting can be rewarding in several ways if we explore the inherent opportunities signup now to explore.
	Build a community through commuting We lose leisure time and disengage from the community as a result of commuting. Getting to know the “family”, “chap”, “lad”, “bloke”, “lady” etc next door could be a good way of staying in touch with the community. Collectively, we can promote local products, shops and share our initiatives and ventures. Through networking within the community we can be exposed to a plethora of choices that can ease our commuting, save us costs, reduce stress, build on new neighbourhood connections, know the name behind the face we see every morning, enrich our lives and most importantly feel like a community. Commuting can reconnect you to the community if you reach out to fellow commuters in the neighbourhood.

Express yourself Use our unique Message delivery service to voice your opinion, express those pains that make your commute uncomfortable, let other commuters in your locality know your preferences and know those things that annoy you during your commute. Our CC Forum v1 offers you a wide range of avenues to express your opinion, discuss events that transpired during the day, talk about lost and found items, talk about interesting events in the neighbourhood and through the resulting network, engage more in community affairs and services.
	Let other commuters know your opinion Ever wondered why “he/she” keeps repeating those habits that annoy you each morning or evening during your commute? You have never spoken your mind, and if you wanted, you would be scared to stand your ground. Say it here, and there is a very high probability that that fellow commuter will pick up that message and before you know it, you will be enjoying your commute again. We however strongly urge you to abide by “House rules” under our “terms and conditions” as any insulting or verbal expressions deemed aggressive and personal will be deleted swiftly and your usage of this wonderful service restricted.
	Discuss issues affecting your daily commute Our CC Forum v1 offers you the unique opportunity to discuss issues that directly affect your commute.
