Swat Rider

The whole valley, one tap away.

A bike to the bazaar, a rickshaw home, a pickup for the cement. You name the fare, a driver nearby says yes, and you pay in cash when you get there.

Fares

In Swat you agree the fare first. So do we.

No meter ticking, no surprise at the end. You offer, the driver answers, and you both know the number before the wheels turn. Try it: this is the same range the app suggests.

In the app, the distance comes from the real road between your pins.

How it goes

From your gate to theirs.

  1. Where you are

    Drop a pin

    Your pickup is wherever you're standing. Move the pin if the driver should meet you at the gate instead.

  2. Before you go

    Say what it's worth

    Choose bike, rickshaw, car or pickup and make your offer. The app shows what's fair for the distance.

  3. A few seconds later

    Drivers answer

    Nearby drivers take your offer or name theirs. You see who they are, what they drive and how riders rated them.

  4. At the door

    Pay what you agreed

    Watch them come on the map, ride, and hand over the fare in cash. Not a rupee more.

Questions

Asked at the rickshaw stand.

Where does Swat Rider work?
We're starting in Khwazakhela and the roads around it, and growing down the valley from there. The app only offers rides where there are drivers to take them.
Who decides the fare?
You and the driver. You make an offer, the driver accepts it or counters, and the number you agree on is the number you pay.
How do I pay?
In cash, to the driver, when you arrive. The agreed fare is on your screen, so there's nothing to argue about.
Can I send things instead of people?
Yes. Send a parcel on a bike or a load on a pickup from the same app: set it up like a ride, and say what's going and who's receiving it.
How do I become a driver?
Switch your account to Driver mode in the app and send your documents. Once our team approves them, you go online whenever you want.
Is it in Urdu?
Yes. The whole app is in Urdu and English, and you can change language any time from your account.
