Description

What we’re about: SHARED. Our tech matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a public one. SUSTAINABLE. Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride. AFFORDABLE Rides are priced comparable to public transport and there are additional discounts for passengers who qualify. Head to salemskipper.com for more information.
 How does Salem Skipper work? - Salem Skipper is an on-demand travel concept that takes multiple passengers heading in the same direction and books them into a shared vehicle. Using the Salem Skipper app, input your address and we’ll match you with a vehicle going your way. We’ll pick you up on a nearby corner and drop you off within a short walk of your chosen destination. Now for the clever bit; our algorithms provide journey times that are comparable to a taxi and much more convenient than other modes of travel, making public transportation easier than ever before! 
How long will I wait - You'll always get an accurate estimate of your pick-up ETA before booking.
- You can also track your bus in real time using the app. Questions? Head to salemskipper.com or reach out at support- salem@ridewithvia.com. Loving your experience so far? Give us a 5-star rating.

    I was using this app fine onmy precious phone. Got a new phone, and there's no "login" button when you open the app, just a single button that says "get started". I metered my info anyway, and it obviously says there's already an account with that email address, but it doesn't give me the option to sign in anywhere?! Please reach out or fix, and I'll update this review to 5 stars.

    Good cost, but the drivers frequently show up to the wrong location and it takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes to get a ride. So you just waited an hour for 1 skipper then they leave 30 seconds after going to the wrong location forcing you to wait another 15 minutes. Id look for other ride share options
  • Great drivers and service

  • Pick up is NOT accurate

    It’s very frustrating relying on this app to get to places that you need to be on time. Multiple times the pick up location has changed and I have gone exactly where it is and no driver had shown up, the pick up gets cancelled and there’s no way to communicate in a chat or call the driver.
  • Good service

    Awesome idea, good execution, and super affordable! I just wish there were more skippers on the road. It’s often all booked up or has a long wait time (25-40min). Especially during tourist season! One issue I do have is skippers dropping off into roads. If I am on the left side, the driver will pull onto the right hand shoulder and open the left hand door into traffic for me. On busy Salem streets, this can be dangerous. I get the impression that they’re instructed to do this by some type of management, but it is concerning considering it is a main transport for students and the disabled here.
  • Takes too long to get a ride

    I’ve been trying to get a ride for about 30 minutes and still haven’t been able to get a ride. There’s no way that you guys are on high demand all that time.
  • Great if you have a flexible timeline

    If you need to be somewhere quickly or at an exact time it’s not the best, but if you’re flexible on time it’s great!
