ByRoute connects riders with nearby drivers for daily rides and shared rides, with live tracking from request to payment.
Every service runs on the same drivers, wallet and tracking, so switching between them takes one tap.
Point-to-point rides inside your city, with the fare estimate shown before you book.
Base fare + distance + time
Split a ride with riders heading the same way, matched within about 2 km.
Separate share-ride pricing
Every trip moves through the same stations, and both the rider and the driver see each change as it happens.
Requested
Pick pickup, drop-off and a vehicle type. The fare estimate appears first, and some trips let you offer your own price.
Processing
Drivers within about 5 km get the request, and each request stays open for 2 minutes by default.
Accepted
You see the driver, the vehicle and their live location, and can chat in the app.
Arrived
You get a notification the moment the driver reaches you.
Progress
Follow the route live, send a share-trip link to someone you trust, or raise an SOS alert.
Finished
You get an invoice with the fare breakdown, pay by cash, card or wallet, and leave a rating.
If it ends early: Cancelled
Either side can cancel and pick a reason, such as a long wait or a wrong address. A cancellation fee can apply.
If it ends early: Noresponse
If no driver accepts in time, the request closes and you can try again.
