  2. Compare the rides: departure time, price per seat, seats left, the driver's rating and the vehicle. Search also shows rides that pass near you.
  3. Request a seat with your own pickup and drop-off point along the route. Common start points include Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, Sholinganallur and the ECR toll; common drop-offs include White Town, Lawspet and the Puducherry bus stand area.

Driving this route anyway? Post your trip with your time, seats and vehicle. TravellBuddy suggests a price per seat for the distance and your vehicle, and you accept the requests that suit you. Passengers pay you directly; TravellBuddy takes nothing from the fare.

Tip: Most cars take the ECR, so south Chennai pickups like Thiruvanmiyur or Sholinganallur fit best.
