Passenger FAQ
Questions before requesting a ride.
Estimated fares are shown before you request. Cash and electronic payments are being prepared for operational rollout.
Drivers post spare seats on city-to-city trips and passengers request rides. The matcher connects compatible routes, timing, seats, pickup and drop-off points, request order, and nearest suitable driver route. Once matched, passengers get a 4-digit pickup PIN.
