Abstract:
We live in a country where traffic jams or congestion is an everyday site to see. Yes,
there is a lot of traffic. But, did one of us ever think if how it would all be if the
traffic was reduced, say, almost cut down to half? One can only think of it for the
moment, but it has happened elsewhere for instance in the most developed
countries and will happen in Pakistan as well if we play our cards right considering
our efforts and mind-set. Carpooling has been a tradition for many years. In the
past, many families used to carpool to picnic locations and have the time of their
lives. Carpooling is still practiced today, but it's rare and is mostly done on special
occasions or with commercial vehicles like vans (swvl) or buses for those who do
not have their own transport vehicle, or for those who would like to beat the
morning traffic, or even the disabled. But, what if we take public carpooling to
whole new level by picturing affordable rates per-head, flexibility, seating choice,
driver choice and of course a variety of vehicles to choose from depending on your
taste in real time. This is what YURRIDE is all about.
