Why we built Crimigo

Two problems every student already knows.

We were students in Bloomington juggling late shifts, night classes, and no car. The only options were expensive surge fares or piling into a stranger’s ride. So we built the network we wished existed — one that’s safe because it’s student-only, and affordable because it has to be.

Safety for riders

Getting home late shouldn’t mean climbing into a stranger’s car. Every driver and rider is a verified IU student, with the driver, vehicle, plate, and rating shown before pickup — so students look out for students.

Cheap for students

Rideshare prices spike exactly when students can least afford them. Crimigo keeps fares low with no surge, so getting around campus stays something a student budget can actually handle.

Why Crimigo

Built for the rides students actually need.

Built for student budgets

No surge pricing. No cash. Clear ride pricing before pickup.

Student-only network

Riders and drivers sign up with verified IU accounts.

Know who's driving

See the driver, vehicle, plate, rating, and trip details before pickup.

Made for Bloomington

Designed around campus housing, Kirkwood, apartments, grocery runs, and everyday student movement.

For parents

Peace of mind every time they get in the car.

You already pay for their Ubers and late-night rides — you just can't see any of them. Crimigo gives you live tracking, verified student drivers, and real safety tools, all in one account you control.

Fund rides, not random spending

Add money directly to a student's Crimigo ride balance for local transportation around Bloomington.

No cash. No random Venmos.

Payments happen in-app, creating a cleaner digital record for every completed ride.

Ride history parents can understand

See completed ride records, payment history, and account activity from your student's linked account.

More transparency before pickup

Students see driver identity, vehicle, plate, rating, and trip details before getting in.

Driver approval

Not just anyone can drive.

Crimigo drivers do not instantly get access to the platform. Every driver must apply, submit required documents, and complete onboarding before accepting ride requests.

  1. 01

    Student driver application

    Drivers apply with a verified student account and basic profile information.

  2. 02

    Document review

    Drivers submit license, vehicle, registration, and insurance information before approval.

  3. 03

    Interview and fit check

    Applicants complete a short interview so Crimigo can review professionalism, communication, and campus fit.

  4. 04

    Background and driving review

    Drivers complete a background check and driving record review before they can accept rides.

  5. 05

    Safety and platform training

    Approved drivers complete a short training course covering pickups, rider expectations, no-cash policy, reporting, emergencies, and safe platform use.

  6. 06

    Manual approval

    Drivers are manually approved before going live. Crimigo can pause or remove driver access based on reports, ratings, or policy issues.

Driver access is earned.

Crimigo is designed as a closed student ride network. Drivers must apply, complete onboarding, and stay in good standing to keep driving.

Transparency

More transparency. More accountability. Less guessing.

Crimigo is built around a closed student network, verified accounts, electronic payments, trip records, ratings, reporting tools, and driver and vehicle details before pickup.

How it works

One network. Three simple flows.

1

Verify with your IU email

Sign up in seconds with your @iu.edu address so every rider on the network is a real, current student.

2

Request a local ride

Set your pickup and drop-off anywhere around Bloomington and see your clear, upfront price before you book — no surge, ever.

3

Meet your driver

Review the driver, vehicle, plate, and student rating up front, then track the car on its way to you.

4

Pay in-app and rate

Everything settles automatically in the app — no cash, no awkward Venmo — and you rate the trip when you arrive.

Value

No surge. No cash. No surprise.

Crimigo is built for student budgets and parent peace of mind — designed to be cheaper, with more predictable pricing.
