ABOUT BMP CAR
BMP Car is an indigenous carpooling platform created with the people and environment in mind. We are trying to create an entirely new, people-powered, travel network. With a dedicated member relations service, a state of the art web and mobile platform, and a fast-growing trusted community, we are making travel social, money-saving and more efficient for people.
What do We do?
BMP Car is a 2-in-1 road transport solution that let users book an instant ride (VIP) to a specific destination and also connect car owner travelling alone to commuters going the same direction. The platform enables a hassle-free link between them while ensuring that the rider gets a token to make up for petrol. This saves the environment as we’ll have less fume emitting cars on the road and also let the users enjoy the company of others during travel.
How BMP Car Work?
For VIP the user goes to the app to request for a ride, while a nearby driver receives the request heads out to pick up the rider and drop him/her at the specified destination and get paid.
While for ride-sharing intending traveller (driver) goes to the site to offer a ride, stating the time of travel and available seats while another user (rider) goes to find a ride that matches his own journey, book it and makes an escrow payment (money will not be sent to the driver until the journey is completed). Parties (driver and riders) will connect, meet up and embark on the journey.
