Pakistan is the sixth largest country by population and means of transport are getting better day by day but traveling on bus is considered dangerous as bus drivers race with eachother on competition to reach before the other to catch more passengers on return.
CNG is now available 7 days a week but timming are just 6hrs a day,which results in long queus.
I lived in Lahore for about 30 years and traveling on bus has always been a headache.One thing has always helped me travelling inside lahore is by calling a friend who is on his way to college and getting along with him to reach the destination.
Here is a good news for all those students who travel frequently and are fed up of traveling by bus.
Students from LUMS have designed an app which will help you overcome the menace of public transport.Idea behind this app is very simple.
Lets assume you are traveling from DHA Lahore to Islamabad and in a country of 20 Crore people there is a great chance that if not hundred dozen of people are traveling from DHA to Islamabad. This app lets you connect with those traveling on car.
This app will help you connect with those.As Some people don't like traveling alone.So this would help them get along with someone and on the other hand you will get a chance to travel for free :)
Now the problem here is why would anyone who does not know you let you sit in his car,you coud be a thief?
This app connects you with your college friends your colleagues which puts fear to rest.
Founder of the app "Qasim Zafar" Talking to express tribune said "Carpooling isn't very popular in pakistan as most of us live in fear and suspicion,but carpooling with friends and colleagues puts fear to rest"Currently App requires your CNIC number and we are hoping of forming some collaboration with NADRA
