My idea: ShareWay
Problem it Solves: Students at universities spend a significant amount of money and time on daily commuting. Many take separate autos or cabs even if they’re traveling in the same direction. This not only raises costs but also increases wait times, adds to traffic congestion, and poses safety concerns for students commuting late or alone.
Current Market Gap: Popular ride-hailing apps like Ola or Uber are not designed for short, repetitive, hyperlocal commutes between campus and nearby neighborhoods. They are often too expensive for students, unreliable during peak class timings, and don’t leverage the trust factor of traveling with known peers. What’s missing is a low-cost, campus-centered mobility solution that’s safe, simple, and community-driven.
My Solution: A Campus Ride-Sharing App that matches students traveling along the same route. Features include:
Smart Matching: Students heading in the same direction get grouped to share autos, cabs, or even bike rides.
Cost Splitting: Fares are automatically divided among riders, saving up to 50–70% of commute costs.
Safety First: Only verified students from the same university can join, with ID-based sign-ups and optional SOS features.
Convenience: Real-time ride requests and scheduled rides for early classes, late evenings, or events.
Who Benefits:
Students → save money, reduce commute stress, and feel safer traveling with peers.
Parents → peace of mind knowing rides are limited to verified campus members.
Campus Community → less traffic at the gates, fewer parking problems, and a more sustainable commute culture.
Business Model:
Pilot Phase (Free): Start as a student-only app/WhatsApp integration to validate usage.
Scale-Up: Small service fee per pooled ride (₹5–₹10 per rider).
Expansion: Partnerships with local auto unions/cab drivers for guaranteed availability.
Premium Features: Priority bookings, group ride scheduling, or “subscription packs” for daily commuters.
Why This Matters to Me: As a student, I’ve seen friends overspend on commuting and even miss classes because of transport issues. This idea combines affordability, safety, and sustainability while creating a stronger sense of community. It’s not just about cheaper rides; it’s about making campus life smoother and more connected.
Comments
Would be cool if there’s also an option for “daily regular routes” so people don’t have to keep posting every single day. Overall, super relatable and honestly something I’d actually use.
