Abstract:
    With fuel prices continuously climbing to new record breaking peaks, it is becoming difficult for the average commuters to keep up with these costs. Additionally, cab services have also raised their fares due to increased fuel prices. This makes it impractical for daily commuters to reach their destination. Our goal is to create a community driven platform to connect commuters together.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    Cheap, reliable and safe transport for daily commuters. Decrease overall traffic and road congestion. Increase social communication and interaction within your local society. Build trust and overall community wellbeing.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   Groups of people who are travelling to the same destination. Students, office workers and daily travelers who prefer cheap and comfortable transport from their doorstep. Commuters looking for cheaper travel and those riders looking to reduce their travel expenses. Community driven individuals.
How will the solution works
    The solution will be based on a mobile application. Users on this application will be divided in two categories, one for passengers and the other for riders. The passengers will be given a platform where they can connect with these riders to travel together towards their destination. Vehicle owners can set up their daily recurring routes for passengers to choose from. This platform will act as a community driven medium for cheap, reliable and comfortable transport.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Currently, there are no major competing platforms for such a dedicated target audience, therefore, opportunity in this market is extremely high. The alternatives are cab service platforms such as "Careem" and "InDrive". These alternatives do not consider daily recurring routines and group travel.
