Route-aware matching
We only surface people moving in the same direction, and snap their pickup and drop to the closest point on your existing route so the detour stays small.
Thousands of bikes and cars make the same trip every morning with empty seats. My Pillion matches people already heading your way, snaps pickup and drop points onto the rider's existing route, and lets both sides split what the journey actually costs.
Currently in private beta in Hyderabad, with live ride matching, in-app chat, and PIN-verified pickups.
Designed around the realities of daily commutes: live locations, route fit, pickup clarity, and confidence before every ride.

Live location sharing while a ride is active, turn-by-turn navigation, and clear trip stages from request through to drop.
Every trip starts only when the pillion's four-digit PIN is verified by the rider, so both sides know they have matched with the right person.
Turn a trip you are already making into a shared one. Go live on your current route or post a scheduled ride, then review and accept the requests that actually fit your way.
Search your destination, see who is already heading that way, and check exactly where you would board and alight before you commit to anything.

Offering a seat on a trip you are already making
Finding someone already heading your way
Two-wheelers dominate Indian cities and most of them travel with an empty pillion seat. My Pillion is built for that gap: not a new fleet on the road, but better use of the trips already happening.
Sign-in is tied to a Google account and a phone number verified by OTP before anyone can go live or request a ride.
A trip cannot start until the rider verifies the pillion's four-digit PIN, which confirms both people matched correctly.
Location is published only while a ride is active, and both sides see trip stages from acceptance through to completion.
The trip share is calculated from distance and shown to both sides up front. The money moves directly between them.
My Pillion is an independent product built in Hyderabad.

Building My Pillion end to end, from the Flutter app and its Firebase backend through to route matching, live location, and the trip-share model. The product is running in private beta on real commutes across north Hyderabad.
LinkedIn profileMy Pillion is not yet on the app stores. We are running a closed beta with a small group of riders and pillions in Hyderabad while we refine matching and safety. Write to us and we will add you to the next testing round.
