How 91 shared rides replaced daily uncertainty with comfort and community
“Now I can plan my day — when I’m leaving and when I’m coming back.”
For sRide Hero Ruma Acharya, this line captures a quiet but powerful shift in her everyday life.
Living in Kolkata, Ruma always had transport options around her. Autos, buses, shared rides — availability was never the issue. What made commuting exhausting was the waiting. Standing in lines for shared autos. Adjusting plans at the last minute. Never being fully sure how long the commute would take.
It wasn’t just about travel. It affected how her entire day unfolded.
A colleague at work suggested she try sRide. Like many first-time users, Ruma was sceptical. Carpooling with new people felt unfamiliar. But she decided to give it a chance.
Four months later, she has completed 91 rides — and what stands out most to her isn’t convenience alone, but familiarity.
Instead of waiting in lines, Ruma now travels with people she recognizes. Faces she sees regularly. Conversations that feel easy. Over time, her co-riders stopped being strangers and became familiar companions in her daily routine.
“I really started liking the company of the people I usually travel with,” she shares.
That sense of comfort changed how she experienced commuting. The stress of wondering who she’d travel with disappeared. The uncertainty of when she’d reach reduced drastically. Her rides became predictable — and that predictability brought calm.
As part of the sRide Heroes community, Ruma also became part of something bigger. Each shared ride meant fewer vehicles on the road, smoother traffic, and a more sustainable way to move through the city — all without making any extra effort.
Carpooling with sRide didn’t just save her time; it gave her consistency. The ability to plan her day. The confidence of knowing what to expect.
For Ruma Acharya, the biggest change wasn’t the route — it was the people.
