Offline Rides, Online Safety

We’ve all been there, your phone dies, you run out of data, or maybe you just don’t feel like opening the app. So, you do what most people do: grab a nearby offline ride, agree on a fare, and hope for the best.

But the thing about offline rides is that once they start, you turn invisible. No tracking, no rider info, no safety. And that’s a big problem for both you and Pathao.

In fact, over 60% of daily bike rides are happening outside the Pathao app. That means fewer connected users, more unverified trips, and a growing gap in safety and service.

Introducing: Pathao Connect

Pathao Connect is our answer to the offline ride boom. It bridges the gap between casual, on-the-spot rides and the trusted Pathao experience. Whether you’re out of charge, out of data, or just not into apps, Pathao Connect makes sure your ride is still protected, trackable, and rewarding. Because offline convenience, online protection, that’s the promise.

How Pathao Connect Works?

Pairing a ride with Pathao Connect is super simple. You can do it in either of these ways:

• Passenger enters the driver’s 6-digit code or phone number + OTP into the app.
  
• The rider enters the passenger’s phone number, fare, and OTP into their app.

That’s it. You’re connected. The ride is officially logged, tracked, and backed by all the safety features you expect from Pathao.
