Project Overview
ROAM is a next-generation rickshaw mobility platform built to modernize and streamline urban transportation across India and Sri Lanka. Designed for accessibility and transparency, ROAM connects passengers with nearby rickshaw drivers through a fast, reliable, and secure mobile app — offering a local alternative to global ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt.
At its core, ROAM is built to empower both drivers and passengers. For riders, it provides comfort, choice, and control with flexible fare options and real-time tracking. For drivers, it opens doors to digital income opportunities, route optimization, and fair bidding — all within a secure, easy-to-use platform.
ROAM’s mission is to digitize the traditional rickshaw ecosystem, bringing structure to an informal market through trust, transparency, and technology. Future updates will enhance driver earnings, improve AI-based fare predictions, integrate with popular local wallets, and expand regional language support to make mobility truly inclusive.
