56% increase in fuel prices made it hard to afford whole and sole taxi ride and this time its a problem for both people with and without vehicles.
To solve this problem, Pakistani’s have started helping each other by creating online carpooling communities. But this solution helps a very low population, and many drivers and passengers still can’t find each other.
Carpooling is not just about filling-up your car with passengers it will only benefit if the people who are in your ride are travelling in the same direction, so the trip is small and cost effective and most importantly your own ride experience does not hurt.
Carsea a startup from Karachi is providing exactly this solution through their mobile app.
Its features include:
- One-way ride
- Per seat fares
- All rides are gender-specific
- All pickups are around you and each other
- All drop-offs are either on your way or around your destination
- Payments are per ride and in cash
- Rides can be placed once or scheduled to be placed on offer automatically
If you own a car or bike and use it to travel daily, you can register your vehicle and offer your route with above features.
Carsea is also encouraging Female drivers and passengers to carpool by allowing female drivers to select female passengers only so only female passengers can see their offered ride.
On the other hand, If you are a passenger and searching for carpooling you can find any driver in a matter of seconds.
The app will match you with a lot of drivers who also have the same route as you and you can select an offer according to your budget and comfort.
There is no weekly or monthly binding to either side like classic pick & drop contracts, with Carsea every booking is paid instantly in cash as soon as ride ends.
