University and College Pick and Drop

One driver for the whole term, timed to your first class

A campus run of about 8 km each way is Rs 320 a seat per trip, or roughly Rs 13,900 a month for both journeys on 22 teaching days. Published rates, effective 22 September 2026, last checked 5 October 2026.

A university timetable repeats. The same 8am lab on Monday, the same late lecture on Thursday, the same gate, week after week until the term ends. Shareide turns that into a standing arrangement: you post the campus route and the class times, drivers who already drive that road offer a per-day rate, and you take one. Three seats in a car means three classmates from one neighbourhood can split it. An 8 km run to campus is Rs 470 for the whole car and Rs 320 for one shared seat, so two trips a day across 22 working days comes to about Rs 13,900 a month per seat. Anything under about 5.9 km prices at the Rs 380 minimum, which is Rs 250 a seat.

The campus commute fails at both ends of the day. At 7am almost nobody is online to accept a booking, because the hour that suits a first period suits no driver hunting for a fare. At 4pm the whole department leaves the same gate at once. A university point service answers the timing by running one bus on one route at one time, which works if you live on that route and not at all if you do not. A standing arrangement fixes the hour without fixing the road: it runs from your own address to your own campus gate, on the days your timetable actually has classes, and it is posted by you rather than drawn up by the transport office.

How it works

What You Actually Get

The plan follows the timetable, not the calendar

You choose the days, so a Monday, Wednesday and Friday timetable is priced for three days a week rather than five. Ride days are counted forward from the start date across the weekdays you picked, so a plan starting in week four pays for the classes that are left.

Classmates on your road pay for a seat each

Shareide prices a seat at twice the whole-car fare split three ways. On an 8 km campus run that is Rs 320 a seat instead of Rs 470 for the car, and the three of you reach the same gate in time for the same lecture.

Parents can check the driver before term starts

Every driver is approved only after a CNIC check with an AI face match against the photo on the card, plus licence and vehicle verification. On a term plan that same approved person drives throughout, so it is one name and one number plate rather than whoever the app finds at 7:20am.

A department or hostel group can take the whole vehicle

A Hiace seats eight to twelve and a coaster twenty to thirty. Booked as a monthly van plan, every seat gets its own door pickup and the run ends at one destination, the campus. That is how a hostel block or a single department travels together without the university owning a bus.

Who uses it

Common Arrangements

Morning lecturesThe 8am slot. A term plan holds that hour in advance, so the car is at your gate before the first period instead of being searched for at 7:35.
Campus point serviceA group from one area agreeing one route to one campus. Cheaper per head than each student booking a car alone, and it runs on the days the department actually teaches.
Teaching and admin staffFaculty and office staff keep steadier hours than students do. A two-way plan covers the working day with the same driver on both legs, five or six days a week.
Female studentsA woman can ask for a female driver, and the request is honoured wherever one serves that road. Useful for evening classes and late lab sessions that end after dark.
Pricing

What It Costs

The actual rate card — a plan's per-day figure is agreed against your route

VehicleBasePer kmMinimumSeats
Bike Rs 40 Rs 15 Rs 130 1
Rickshaw Rs 90 Rs 29 Rs 260 2
Car Rs 120 Rs 44 Rs 380 3
AC / Premium Rs 175 Rs 58 Rs 510 3
Carry Daba Rs 130 Rs 38 Rs 510 5
Hiace Rs 290 Rs 73 Rs 800 8

Fare = base + (km × per-km rate) + (minutes × per-minute rate), never below the minimum. A monthly plan does not meter each trip — you and the driver agree one per-day figure for your route, and per-seat sharing divides it. Rates effective 22 September 2026, last checked 5 October 2026; the app always shows the live price before you confirm.

Questions

University Pick and Drop FAQs

What does university pick and drop cost?
It comes off the same rate card as any other Shareide car: Rs 120 base plus Rs 44 per km, never below Rs 380. An 8 km commute is Rs 470 for the whole car and Rs 320 for one of three shared seats, which over two trips a day and 22 working days is about Rs 13,900 a month per seat. A monthly plan does not meter each trip. You and the driver agree one per-day figure for your campus route before the plan starts.
Can I take a plan for one semester only?
A plan runs a month at a time, so a semester is a sequence of monthly plans on the same route rather than one long contract. That suits a timetable that changes: when the new term moves your 8am to 11am, you post the route again with the new times and take offers on it. Nothing rolls over that you did not agree to.
Can three of us share one car to the same campus?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to use it. A car carries three passengers, and a seat is priced at twice the whole-car fare split three ways, so each of you pays Rs 320 rather than Rs 470 on an 8 km run. The condition is that you are on the same road, going to the same campus, at the same time, which for a batch living in one area is usually true.
Can we ask for a woman driver for a female student?
Yes. A female rider can request a female driver, and the request is honoured wherever a woman drives that route. Separately, every driver has passed a CNIC check with an AI face match against the card photo, plus licence and vehicle checks, before being allowed to accept any work. For a parent the useful part is continuity: a term plan is one approved driver from the first week to the last.
Which cities and campuses does this cover?
Shareide runs in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad and Sialkot. A plan is posted address to address rather than against a list of approved campuses, so what decides it is whether a driver already drives that road. Matching is quickest on the main corridors into the big university areas, because that is where most drivers post their routes.
