Sharing a car safely
- Share the car number and route with someone at home before your first ride.
- Agree the pick-up point, time and cost-share before you get in; pay by UPI.
- Prefer a ride with someone from your own society the first time, or travel with a colleague.
- Drivers: carpooling means sharing costs with neighbours, not running a taxi.
- Something wrong? Tell us on WhatsApp and we'll help.
