How One Rider Turned Traffic Into Community
Daily commutes often feel like a routine — the same roads, the same traffic, the same rush. But for some riders, the journey becomes something more meaningful.
For Rohit Nimbalkar from KPIT, carpooling through sRide didn’t just reduce travel strain; it opened doors to new people, new conversations, and a new way of looking at everyday mobility.
Rohit has been using sRide for over a year, and when he describes his experience, one word stands out: enriching.
He talks about how shared rides turned into shared moments — conversations with people from different departments, learning what they do, hearing about their roles, even exchanging thoughts on life beyond work.

“I like to know what’s happening around me,” Rohit shared. “During my rides, people talk about their companies, their roles, and sometimes even their personal stories. You learn something new every day.”
These small interactions transformed something as tiring as traffic into something he genuinely looked forward to. What could have been idle waiting became an opportunity for connection.
But the benefits didn’t end with conversations. Rohit pointed to a simple but powerful truth:
four people in one car means three fewer cars on the road.
Every shared journey helps reduce congestion, fuel consumption, and pollution — contributing to greener, calmer roads across the city.
He also emphasized how carpooling supports sustainability. Each kilometre shared is a step toward shrinking our carbon footprint, a responsibility that many urban professionals are increasingly aware of.
“It’s a good initiative,” he said. “When I think about how many cars aren’t on the road because we shared a ride, it really feels like we’re doing something right.”
Rohit’s story is one among thousands — but it’s stories like his that show how deeply shared mobility can impact people’s daily lives.
Carpooling isn’t just a transaction. It’s a community. A community of people who believe that commuting should be efficient, meaningful, and environmentally responsible.
We are grateful to Rohit for sharing his experience and being an inspiring part of the sRide community. His journey reminds us that when people travel together, they do more than reach a destination — they build a movement.
Join the community. Share your ride. Shape the future of commuting.
