We all know
about Uber. Uber is internationally well known brand for providing ride-sharing
service where you can privately make reservation, make calls and have a car
ready for you at a specific place at a specific time. It is active in 77
countries and 527 cities which does not include Nepal. Many of us, including me
want it here in Nepal. But we have not been that fortunate. However, it seems
that Nepal is also on its way to having its own ride sharing service.

Tootle,
like other ride-sharing service providers, is a customer to customer (C2C) business
company, which helps general citizen share rides easily. They are currently in
a testing phase and trying to bring some users to use their app before they go
official. The dates of their launch is not yet official. But even now, you can
download their app and use it while you can.
Essentially how it works is, you just download the app called Tootle, sign up and login. After you are done, then you just set the pickup and drop location and request for a ride.
When you are done booking, your request will
be seen by all available riders. The riders will be able to see your number,
and they will call you and pick you up. After you have dropped you can either
make payment in cash or from the tootle wallet. The cost of the ride depends on the distance. Currently, you will have a 500
rupee as a startup budget since it is still being tested. And you can only pay from the balance in the wallet. Once you are dropped in your location, the payment will automatically be made.
If however,
you decide to cancel the booking, just tap into the “X’ location and cancel the
booking.
As for the
rider, you have to download a separate app called Tootle partner and register. then you have to accept the the client and your device will send an SMS to them. Then you can just receive them and drop them. For information visit their website. Again, you will receive money through
cash or from the tootle’s wallet.
But you have to remember that it is still in
a testing phase. So, don't be surprised if you don't see many riders or offers. Try out the app with your friends, with someone you know
and give them a feedback. If you have any question, you can contact them in
