Intercity

Islamabad to Lahore, and back, for the cost of a seat.

City to city, posted ahead of time, at a price the driver sets per seat. The same app and the same request-and-approve flow as a ride across town.

Seven cities are set up: Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Haripur, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Lahore and Peshawar. Pick two of them and a day, and you see the seats drivers have already posted for it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick two cities and a date

    Search from and to, on the day you are travelling. Past dates do not appear.

  2. 2

    AC or non-AC

    The driver says which, and you see it before you request.

  3. 3

    A price per seat, set by the driver

    Not a split of the fuel — a seat price the driver sets, shown to you before you ask for it.

  4. 4

    Your stop, and the driver's last one

    You give the stop you want before the request goes in, and the driver's final stop is stated up front. Neither of you finds out at the end.

  5. 5

    The driver approves every seat

    You ask, the driver says yes or no. The seat only comes off the count inside that approval, so two people can never be given the same one.

  6. 6

    Cash, in the car

    You hand the driver the seat price at the end. Nothing is deducted from it, and there is no surge on a busy weekend.

What the fuel costs on these routes

An intercity seat is priced by the driver, not split from the fuel, so treat these as the floor: what one one-way trip costs at the pump, tolls on top. These are the long roads we have confirmed distances for — the search in the app runs between the seven cities above.

Islamabad to Lahore, one way

One trip on this route costs you this much.

375 km one way, a 1300cc sedan at 11 km per litre. Change any of that in the calculator.

Fuel only. Tolls, parking and wear are on top, and they split the same way.

City to city is switched on in the app, not held back for a later release. Leave your number and say which cities you move between — we open in Islamabad and Rawalpindi first, then the corridors enough of you are already driving.
