Hike messenger, India's first home-grown messaging platform, on Monday launched "Car Match", a microapp within hike, to facilitate users in sharing rides with friends during the ongoing odd-even scheme in the national capital.

The smart microapp not just matches odd-numbered cars with even-numbered cars in a user's vicinity, it also ensures that car categories are as similar to each other as possible.

With this app, enabled for all Delhi numbers, the commuter-partners have the flexibility to choose each other after chatting with them, thus helping them make decisions about having safe rides.
 

 

 

To reap the benefits of the app, a user needs to open hike messenger and select the "Car Match" app. Then the user is asked to fill in the basic details regarding location, car number and the journey.

The hike will generate possible matches according to the profile and preferences enabling the user to choose match(es), chat and finalise a commuter-partner to share a ride with.

The free microapp is available on Google Play store for Android users.
