Quick Ride registered 2.7 lakh new users on its platform last year

Quick Ride has witnessed an 80% growth in the number of carpools in Chennai facilitated by the company compared to 2018. Quick Ride users in Chennai have shared rides with their fellow car-poolers and have prevented the release of 7800 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2019 just by sharing vehicles.

Chennai users have also successfully shared 33, 00,000 rides with their fellow car-poolers in the city with the aim to reduce congestion and air pollution. Chennai users have shared 7 lakh kilometres by car-pooling last year.

Car-pooling as a concept has gained momentum in metropolitan cities that are bogged down by traffic congestion and vehicular pollution.

However, carpooling today stands out primarily because it is both affordable and environmentally sustainable, users of the application can assess and analyse their contribution to reducing their carbon foot print on the application.

KNM Rao, Co-founder-CEO, Quick Ride, said, “We are happy that commuters across various cities are now car-pooling to work daily. People have recognised the need to reduce the growing traffic congestion and air pollution in the country.”
