About the project

Carpooling in Ufa and Bashkortostan

UfaGO is a mobile app for carpooling between cities and districts in Bashkortostan. The service connects drivers traveling along a specific route with passengers who need to go there as well.

The platform solves several problems at once: it helps passengers find ride-sharing partners at a lower cost than taxis, and helps drivers recoup their fuel expenses. Additionally, a package delivery feature using ride-sharing drivers has been implemented.

The app is available on two platforms, supports dark and light themes, and features a user verification system and a two-way rating system.

Key features

What sets UfaGO apart

Two in one
One account for both drivers and passengers. Create a ride as a driver or find a ride-share partner as a passenger without switching accounts.
Parcel Delivery
Send packages via drivers who are already on the road. Drivers pick up small shipments along the way—it’s extra income for them, and it’s cheaper for the sender than courier services.
Safety
Verification of user accounts, a mutual rating system after each trip, and the ability to verify drivers' documents.

Additional service

Packages in transit

A unique feature of the carpooling platform is the delivery of small packages by drivers who are already on the road. It’s cheaper than courier services and faster than standard delivery.

The sender saves money
The price is lower than that of courier services—the driver picks up the package on the way, without detouring from their route.
The driver earns more
Extra income for deliveries that don’t involve significant route changes—just pick it up at the place it’s being sent from.
Transparent system
The rating system and account verification help build trust among users when sending packages.

Growth areas

What could be improved

An honest assessment of the current version of the product—areas that can be improved in future iterations.

→
Limited geographic coverage at launch
Only popular routes in Bashkortostan; you cannot enter a custom route.
→
No built-in payment option
Payment by cash or bank transfer outside the app. Integrating with a payment system is the next step.
→
No real-time GPS tracking
Passengers cannot track the driver's location during the ride via the app.
→
There is no built-in chat
Communication between the passenger and the driver takes place outside the app. A built-in messaging feature would improve the user experience.
