 🚲 CampusRide: Bicycle & E-Scooter Rentals for Students

The Problem

Many college students, especially those from outside the city or state, don’t own vehicles. Public transport is either irregular, overcrowded, or not available inside campuses. Walking long distances daily between hostels, classes, libraries, and nearby markets is tiring and time-consuming. Students need an affordable, eco-friendly, and convenient mobility solution.

 

💡The Idea

CampusRide is a bicycle and e-scooter rental service made especially for college students. Using a simple mobile app or student ID card, users can unlock bicycles or scooters stationed around campus. They can ride them for short trips — from hostels to classrooms, the metro station, or nearby shops — and then drop them off at another CampusRide dock.

 

It’s like a student-focused Ola/Uber, but with eco-friendly vehicles.

 

🌍 Why It Works

 Affordable: Students pay a small hourly fee or monthly subscription.

Eco-Friendly: Promotes green transport, reducing campus traffic and pollution.

Convenient: Vehicles are always available on campus, no need to buy or maintain one.

Community-Focused: Designed only for students, making it safer and more trusted.

💲Extra Revenue Streams

 Penalty Charges for late returns or damages.

 Advertisements – small ad slots on scooters/bikes from local cafes, coaching centers, etc.

 Referral Discounts – encourage students to bring friends, but make sure referral is only ₹50–100 to keep profits high.

 

💪🏻 Personal Motivation

 As a student, I’ve often seen classmates struggle with daily commuting inside and outside campus. Owning a vehicle is costly, and public transport doesn’t solve short-distance needs. With CampusRide, students get mobility freedom without financial burden, while also contributing to a greener campus.

 

CampusRide isn’t just transport — it’s freedom on two wheels. 🚲

  • It's a very well thought-out idea. This would be so helpful for students, especially when you are getting late. I would suggest adding a gps feature too so that students can locate the nearest available option.
  • This would actually help me out so much, i would definitely use this in real life.
  • Nice one! I like the sustainability angle. Maybe allow users to pre-book cycles before class timings to avoid rush.
  • CampusRide is both innovative and realistic for large universities. However, charging and maintaining e-scooters regularly could become a logistical challenge. Setting up solar-powered charging hubs might solve that problem sustainably.
  • This is exactly the kind of student-first innovation campuses need. Affordable, eco-friendly, and actually designed around real student routines. From hostel runs to late-night library trips. I especially like the idea of drop-off stations and referral discounts. It’s not just transport—it’s independence with purpose. Would love to see this expand to more universities!
  • This would make getting around campus effortless and fun.
  • Perfect solution for short campus trips without the hassle.
  • This feels like an idea that can actually launch. Just plan how you'll handle repairs or replacements for damaged bikes.
  • Really cool concept. Feels like something students would actually use. You could also include free ride minutes for new users.
  • This idea actually makes sense for big campuses like ours. Maybe add an SOS or emergency button in the app for safety.
