Carpooling, built for Sri Lanka

Share the ride.
Split the cost.

On The Way matches you with people already driving your way — so you fill empty seats instead of empty roads. Agree a fair per-seat fare up front, ride with verified drivers, and let the people you trust follow your trip in real time.

Get the app See how it works

No surge pricing. No surprises. The fare you see is the fare you split.

How it works

Three steps from your door to theirs.

1

Find a ride going your way

Enter where you're starting and where you're headed. On The Way shows drivers whose route already passes close to you — within walking distance of your pickup and drop-off, heading in the right direction.

2

Book your seat — or seats

Reserve one seat, or a few if you're travelling with friends. The per-seat fare is fixed and shown before you book, so everyone knows the cost up front. The driver confirms, and your seat is held.

3

Track the trip and arrive

Watch your driver approach on the map with a live ETA, and share a tracking link so someone you trust can follow along. Rate each other at the end to keep the community trustworthy.

Why On The Way

Carpooling that actually fits real life.

Seats on routes people already drive

This isn't a taxi. Drivers list trips they're already making — your morning commute, a run to Kandy, a trip home for the weekend — and offer the seats they'd otherwise leave empty. You pay a fair share of the journey, not a metered premium.

  • Fixed per-seat fare in rupees, agreed before you book
  • No surge pricing, ever — the price doesn't jump at busy times
  • City trips and intercity routes like Colombo ↔ Kandy

Know exactly who you're riding with

Every driver is checked before they can offer a seat — national ID, driving licence, and vehicle documents are reviewed by our team. Number plates are registered to one owner only, so the car that picks you up is the car on the profile.

  • NIC, licence and vehicle papers verified by review
  • Unique number-plate registry blocks plate spoofing
  • Two-way star ratings — passengers and drivers both rate

Watch every kilometre, together

Once a trip starts, your live location updates on the map for everyone in the ride. Share a private tracking link and the people you trust can follow your journey from any browser — no app required — right up to your drop-off.

  • Live GPS during the trip, with distance and ETA
  • A share link guardians can open without installing anything
  • The link stays live for two days so the final stop is on record

Safety isn't a setting — it's the foundation

Designed to look out for you, especially when it matters most.

Real safety tools are built into every trip — not buried in a menu. They're here for everyone, with extra care for women travelling alone.

Women's-safety matching

A woman travelling alone is matched only to rides that already have another passenger on board, or a verified female driver — so she's never the only one in the car.

One-tap SOS

Press once and On The Way instantly messages your trusted contacts on WhatsApp with a live link to exactly where you are — and keeps a security record.

Trusted contacts

Add the people who should always know where you are. They can follow your trip in real time and are the first to be alerted if anything feels wrong.

Questions

Good to know.

No. On The Way is carpooling. Drivers are ordinary people sharing seats on trips they're already making, not professional drivers waiting for fares. You share the cost of a journey rather than paying a metered taxi rate.
The driver sets a fixed price per seat, based on the distance, and you see it before you book. There's no surge pricing and no meter — the amount shown is what you pay. Payment is handled in cash at this stage.
During a trip you can press SOS once. The app immediately sends your trusted contacts a WhatsApp message containing a live tracking link to your current location, and logs a security alert. Your contacts can follow you in real time, even without the app.
Drivers submit their national ID, driving licence and vehicle documents, which our team reviews before they can offer rides. Each number plate can belong to only one verified driver, and every trip ends with a two-way rating.
We collect only what's needed to run the service and keep trips safe, and we explain every category plainly in our Privacy Policy. Location is shared during a trip so you can be tracked for safety, and your trusted contacts only see your trip when you choose to share it.
Sign up, complete your profile, then add your licence and vehicle details for verification. Once approved you can publish trips and start filling your empty seats. You can switch between riding and driving any time you're not mid-trip.
