The invisible co-traveller
Today
Two people travel the same road every morning and never meet.
With RAAH
You add your complete route once, and RAAH finds the people on it before you leave.
Jaha Chaah Waha Raah
Find the person before the journey.Decide the journey together.
RAAH matches office and college commuters who travel the same way at the same time. Add your daily route once, see who shares it and why, and talk only when you both say yes.
- Email-verified members
- Your number stays private
- Chat only after both accept
Why RAAH
Someone already travels your way. You just haven't met yet.
Crowded transport, uncertain shared autos, waiting and changing again and again. Every morning, someone heading the same way at the same time is close by, with no way to find them.
Exact-match blindness
Today
Most tools only match an identical start and end, so someone covering half your way never shows up.
With RAAH
RAAH looks for a full-route match first, then the longest useful stretch you share.
The app decides your journey
Today
Ride apps book, assign and fix the pickup and the time. That does not fit a shared daily commute.
With RAAH
RAAH only connects you. The time, meeting point, shared stretch and days are yours to agree.
Unsafe early contact
Today
Phone numbers get passed to strangers before any trust exists.
With RAAH
You talk in RAAH chat, only after both of you accept. Block and report are always one tap away.
Saathi & Raahi
Two ways to travel. One account.
Pick the role that fits the route you travel today. A role belongs to your current route, not to you, so it can change when your commute does.
Looking for a co-traveller
Saathi
Find someone heading your way
You travel the same route most days and want to find someone going the same way, at the same time, to travel with.
- See Raahis who cover your whole route, or the stretch you share
- Filter leads by Going or Return leg, and by gender
- Send a request to a Raahi, or accept one
On your best leads you will see
“This Raahi covers your whole route”
Travels by bike or car
Raahi
Let someone join you on your route
You already ride or drive a regular route and are open to someone travelling with you on it.
- Choose Bike or Car when you sign up
- See Saathis whose route you cover, fully or in part
- Decide who joins you and where you meet
On your best leads you will see
“Your route covers this Saathi's whole route”
Switch whenever your commute changes
Deactivate your current route and create one for the other role. Your existing connections and chats stay as they are.
One active route at a time
Each route has a Going leg and an optional Return leg, entered together so you get leads for both.
How it works
From your daily route to the right person.
Five steps, and the matching in the middle happens on its own. You never have to press search.
Tip for typing your stops
Enter an area or landmark, for example Badarpur Metro. You do not need your full address, so your home stays private.
- Step 1
Choose Saathi or Raahi
Email verificationPick your role at the top of the sign-up form. A Raahi also picks Bike or Car. Confirm your email and your account is active.
- Step 2
Add your route, both ways
2 to 5 points per legType your Going leg from Start to End, with up to three stops in between, plus your travel days and usual departure time. Add the Return leg in the same go, or copy it reversed in one tap.
- Step 3
Get leads that explain themselves
Full route firstWithin about a minute, RAAH shows who shares your route and time, with the shared places, common days and time gap behind every match.
- Step 4
Connect when you both agree
Requests stay open for 30 daysEither side can send a request, which always carries the same short message: “Hello, I want to connect with you.” Nobody is connected until the other person accepts.
- Step 5
Chat, decide and travel
Your journey, your decisionOnce a request is accepted, chat opens. Agree the time, meeting point, shared stretch and days between you, travel together, then rate each other.
How matching works
Full route first. Then the longest stretch you share.
Every lead shows exactly why it was matched. Follow Ashish, a Saathi going from Vinay Nagar to Nehru Place, and pick a Raahi to see whether they become one of his leads.
Ashish · Saathi · Delhi
Going leg · Mon–Fri · leaves 8:00 AM
Vinay Nagar → Badarpur Metro → Govindpuri → Kalkaji → Nehru Place
Compare Ashish with a Raahi
Ashish, Saathi · 8:00 AMNeha, Raahi · 7:50 AMShared place
The rules every match passes
A Saathi and a Raahi become a lead only when every rule below holds, on at least one leg. Leads refresh within about a minute whenever a route changes.
Saathi meets Raahi
Saathi routes are only matched with Raahi routes, and Raahi routes only with Saathi routes.
A city in common
The two routes share at least one city, either where they start or where they end.
A day in common
You travel on at least one of the same days of the week.
Within 30 minutes
Your usual departure times are no more than 30 minutes apart.
Same direction
At least two shared places, in the same order. Going is compared with Going, and Return with Return.
Forgiving with spelling
Capital letters do not matter and small slips still match, so “bdarpure” finds Badarpur. Numbers must match exactly: Sector 12 is never Sector 15.
Safety
Safety is built in at every step.
RAAH connects people. You decide whether and how to travel together, and the tools that keep you in control are always within reach.
Every account is email-verified
Members confirm their email before they can add a route or see leads. The badge confirms the email, not the person, so read each profile with care.
Your number stays private
Your mobile number and email are never shown to other members. They see a limited profile: name, photo, role, vehicle, rating and current route.
Chat only after both say yes
Nobody can message you until you accept their request, and RAAH chat is the only way members can reach each other.
Block or report anytime
Block anyone from a lead, a connection or a chat, instantly and silently. Report anything unsafe and an admin reviews it, reading a chat only when it is part of a report.
Filter by gender
Narrow your leads to male or female members whenever that makes you more comfortable.
Ratings from real connections
Only members who connected can rate each other, from 1 to 5 stars. An average shows once someone has three ratings.
Safety guidelines
Meeting for the first time
- Meet in a public, well-lit, busy place, such as a metro station or a main road.
- Tell a family member or friend who you are meeting, where and when.
- Check the person matches their profile. If anything is different, do not go ahead.
- Never share bank details, OTPs, passwords or identity documents, and never send money.
- Agree any cost sharing beforehand. RAAH does not handle payments.
- Wear a helmet on a bike and a seat belt in a car.
In an emergency, call 112
RAAH does not provide emergency services. If you are in danger, contact emergency services first, then report the member on RAAH once you are safe.
Our promise
A connection, not a booking.
RAAH finds the right person and then steps back. The time, the meeting point, the shared stretch and the days stay between the two of you.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
The short version of how RAAH works, what other members can see and what stays with you.
What is the difference between a Saathi and a Raahi?
A Raahi travels a regular route on a bike or in a car and is open to someone joining them. A Saathi is looking for someone heading the same way to travel with. Both are roles of the same account, set by the route you have active.
Does RAAH book rides or set pickup points?
No. RAAH finds people who share your route and time and lets you connect. You and the other member agree the time, meeting point, shared stretch and days in chat. RAAH never books, assigns or fixes a journey.
Does someone need to travel my exact route?
No. RAAH first looks for someone who covers your whole route. If nobody does, it finds the longest stretch you share, as long as it has at least two places in the same order and direction.
What if we spell a place differently?
That is fine. Capital letters are ignored and small spelling slips still match, so “Bdarpur Metro” finds “Badarpur Metro”. Numbers must match exactly, so Sector 12 never matches Sector 15. Naming an area or a landmark works best.
Who can see my phone number and email?
No other member, ever. Members see only a limited profile: your name, photo if you add one, gender, role, vehicle if you are a Raahi, verified badge, rating, when you joined and your current route. RAAH administrators can see your mobile number for safety reasons.
Can I add my return journey too?
Yes. Every route has a Going leg and an optional Return leg, entered together. You can copy the Going leg in reverse and adjust it, and each leg is matched on its own, so you can filter your leads by leg.
Can I switch between Saathi and Raahi?
Yes. You have one active route at a time. To switch, deactivate your current route and create one for the other role. Your existing connections and chats stay as they are.
How are fuel or travel costs shared?
Between you. RAAH takes no payments and does not handle fares, so agree any cost sharing with the other member before you travel.
Where can I use RAAH?
Anywhere in India. Each route has a start city and an end city chosen from RAAH's list, and if your city is missing you can ask for it to be added.
