How it works

Share the journey, share the cost

Drivers going between cities offer their empty seats. Passengers going the same way book them. Everyone splits the fuel cost fairly and the driver is paid in cash.

How fares are calculated

LyraRide Carpool fares are per-km cost sharing. They are meant to cover the cost of the fuel, not to make a profit.

1. A suggested price for the distance

When a driver publishes a ride, the app suggests a price per seat based on the distance, rounded in steps of ₹5.

suggested price = distance (km) × rate per km

2. A set range around it

The driver can adjust the price, but only within a set range around the suggestion. That keeps prices fair for everyone.

Zero commission

LyraRide Carpool takes no commission from drivers or passengers. The price you see is the cost share you pay the driver.

Paying in cash

The app does not take payment and has no in-app payment step. You pay the driver in cash at the time of the trip. Because the price is shown in the app, there is nothing to negotiate at the roadside.

Example fares per seat: Delhi → Jaipur from ₹325, Delhi → Chandigarh from ₹295.
