Our lives are so much easier now with cabs at doorstep, carpool and bike pool on the go. Ask your parents and you will know how difficult their life had been while growing up. Of course, there’s an element of exaggeration, because after all, we are the lazy “millennials”. They crossed rivers, studied under a lamp and walked a mile to catch a bus. Aren’t you lucky to be living in the age of all comforts and technologies just a click away?
Traveling too was never this easy. To catch a bus you were supposed to walk some distance to reach bus stations. For end-to-end connectivity too, people depended on walking till auto stands. Our lives have drastically changed in the last few years. Now, we dedicate separate hours just for ‘walking’ to keep our body used to physical excursions.
However, all these comforts go down the drain especially once it starts to rain or you start finding a cab during the peak hours. Suddenly you find yourself back in the frame of a black and white movie and you can now understand your parent’s struggle(well not fully). This is the problem. People were so used to traveling through public transport that they need to be educated about how cheap and easy it is finding a cab. Honestly, that’s what we have been doing so far, educating masses how easy, comfortable, affordable, and cleaner solution is carpool in India.
For a new user, there will always be a little hesitation when it comes to trying new products or services. And this hesitation overshadows the hidden benefits that can make your life easier. Do you know with carpool, you can find a ride any time of the day? Carpool is not affected by peak hours or rain as this service does not use a dedicated fleet of drivers. Instead, you’re traveling with travelers who are commuting daily on the same route as you.

Big movie release? Don’t worry about show timings or your ride
How much all of us anticipated the release of End Game. No Spoilers memes had already flooded the internet and don’t even talk about the bookings. People had booked their shows months back.

No matter which movie, there will always be an audience for it.

It’s a herculean task to find a parking space in a mall on the weekends. Whether it’s shopping, eating, movie or date, we all tend to go to a mall on the weekends.

Everything is smooth until you’re looking for a parking space and that is when all the guilt of coming kicks in. And if you have come vis cab, finding a cab at night is equally frustrating. Now think rationally, if every car parked there is part of a carpool group, how much parking space and time can be saved. So, next time you head to a mall, Quick Ride! You will end up saving a few bucks and contribute in removing at least one extra car from the already congested roads.
