After dealing with daily traffic, expensive travel costs, and seeing so many empty seats on the road, I started building a Sri Lankan ride-sharing/carpooling platform.

The idea is simple:
Drivers already travelling the same route can share empty seats with passengers heading the same way and split travel costs.

Unlike Uber/PickMe style ride-hailing, the focus here is more on cost-sharing between regular commuters rather than drivers trying to earn a full-time income from trips. Ideally, that should naturally make rides more affordable over time since passengers are mainly contributing toward fuel and travel costs.

It’s currently in active beta/testing, but users can already:

• post rides
• find/book rides
• approve booking requests
• rate each other after rides

Would genuinely love feedback on whether this is something Sri Lankans would actually use regularly.

Hey everyone,

I built a carpool/rideshare platform focused on Sri Lankan daily commuting routes like:

• Negombo ↔ Colombo
• Kandy ↔ Colombo
• Homagama ↔ Colombo
• Gampaha ↔ Colombo

The idea is simple:
If you already drive to work daily with empty seats, you can share the ride and reduce fuel costs for everyone.

I’m now looking for early drivers and passengers to help test the platform before a bigger launch.

Especially looking for:

• office commuters
• university students
• people doing regular long-distance travel
• anyone already informally carpooling

Main goal right now is testing:

• ride posting
• booking flow
• matching commuters on similar routes
• general usability

No complicated setup. Just trying to build something genuinely useful for Sri Lanka because commuting costs and traffic are getting ridiculous.

If anyone is interested in trying it out or giving feedback, comment below or DM me.

Would genuinely appreciate early testers and honest feedback.
