4. Passenger responsibilities

Passengers must provide truthful account information, behave respectfully, arrive on time, follow reasonable safety instructions and use the platform only for lawful journey-sharing.

5. Journey contribution

6. Safety and enforcement

RouteMate may review reports, suspend accounts, remove journeys and preserve evidence when necessary for safety, fraud prevention, legal compliance or platform integrity.
