Travel, rent, hire and buy. Spend less on all of it.
Find a co-passenger and split the fare. Find or list a room, seat or flat. In Skill Hub, hire a plumber, electrician or tutor, or post your own skill. We do not provide vehicles, homes or workers; we simply connect the right people directly, and it is all free.

A co-passenger means a shared fare and a lower cost
This is not a ride-hailing app like Pathao or Uber. It is a platform that connects people: co-passengers for your commute, to-lets for your home, and Skill Hub for your everyday jobs. We do not rent or supply anything ourselves; we connect people directly so costs go down.
Remember: you take the same rickshaw, CNG or car you would have taken anyway, just with a companion. Nothing new to book, the cost is simply shared.
See an example
Rahim posts a ride
Mohakhali to Farmgate by CNG. The fare is ৳80, all on him if he rides alone.
Karim takes a seat
Karim was heading the same way. He accepted 1 seat and they fixed a pickup point in chat.
They ride together
They took the same CNG and paid the driver directly in cash. No money went through the app.
Both of them save
৳40 each. Both Rahim and Karim saved ৳40.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We do not provide any vehicle or driver. We match people going the same way so they can share one rickshaw, CNG or car and split the fare. You pay the driver directly in cash; we never take money.
Plumbers, electricians, AC and fridge technicians, cleaners, carpenters, painters, tutors, movers and more. You can look for a skilled person or post your own skill.
No. They work independently; we only connect you and are not responsible for the quality of work or payment. Agree on the rate and scope in chat before starting, and report any problem.
Post items such as phones, laptops, furniture and bikes for sale, or post what you want to buy. Anonymous posting is available when the admin enables it. Payments are made directly between you; we are not involved, so inspect before paying.
Yes, ShareVara is completely free to use. Sign up, post rides, book seats and chat, all at no cost.
We never touch your money — you and your match pay the driver directly in cash.
Gender is captured at signup, you can restrict matches to women-only or men-only, and every profile is manually reviewed by our team.
If you have a room, seat or flat to rent out, list it with photos and videos and people can find you and chat. The rental agreement and payment are handled directly between owner and tenant.
When you post a ride, enter the total fare and free seats and the per-person fare is calculated for you. For example, a 60 taka fare shared by 3 people is 20 taka each. You pay the driver directly in cash.
The person who posts the ride sets a window between 5 and 30 minutes. After booking a seat, reach the pickup point within that time. If you are running late, tell them in chat.
If a ride is cancelled, everyone who booked a seat gets a notification and the ride stays in your list as Cancelled. You can then look for another ride.
Not by default. Your number is shown to logged-in users only if you switch on Show phone number while posting. Otherwise talk in the in-app chat. People who are not logged in can never see phone numbers.
Send a verification request from your dashboard and our team reviews your profile. Once verified you get a badge, which helps others trust you.
Tap Enable notifications on your dashboard. After that you will get new messages, seat bookings and cancellations on your phone even when the app is closed.
Passwords are stored encrypted, location is used only if you allow it, and nobody sees your phone number unless you choose to show it. Read the Privacy Policy in the footer for details.

ShareVara is a community-driven platform that puts three everyday needs in one place:
🛺 Companion: split rickshaw, CNG or car fares with people travelling your route.
🏠 To-Let: find or list rooms, seats, flats, sublets and office space.
🛠️ Local services: find plumbers, electricians, technicians and tutors, or post your own service.
We do not drive vehicles, rent out homes or provide services ourselves. We only connect the right people directly. Payments are made between users; we do not charge users or hold their money.
Our goal is to lower the cost of commuting, housing and everyday jobs, and to give everyone a simple, affordable and safe experience. The whole app works in both Bangla and English.

The security of your data is our priority. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it and what rights you have. By using ShareVara you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
• Account: name, phone number, gender, occupation and password (stored only as an encrypted hash). Optional: email, date of birth, NID number, present and permanent address, profile photo.
• If you sign in with Google: your name and email from Google.
• Posts: details of your ride, to-let and service posts, and the photos and videos you upload.
• Communication: chat messages, call records (who called whom and when), support chats and password-reset (OTP) request history.
• Location: your approximate location, if you allow it in your browser.
• Device and usage: IP address, browser, device type, screen size, which pages you visited and for how long, referrer/UTM data and (where enabled) cookie IDs from tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity or Facebook.
2. Why we use it
• To provide the service, keep your account running and let users contact each other.
• To send notifications about nearby rides, new messages, bookings and calls.
• To prevent fraud, abuse and safety risks, and to investigate complaints.
• To improve the site and app and to show ads.
3. What other users can see
Your name, profile photo, verified badge and your post details. Your phone and WhatsApp numbers are visible only to logged-in users, and only when you switch on the show-number option on a post. People who are not logged in never see any number. Your location is not shown to other users.
4. Calls
When calling is enabled, audio and video normally go directly between the two users. If a direct connection fails, our server relay may be used temporarily and is deleted when the call ends. We do not record calls.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We may share what is necessary with technology providers needed to run the service (hosting, Google sign-in, push notification services, Google AdSense) or with authorities when legally required.
6. Cookies and ads
We use cookies and local storage to keep you logged in, remember your language and analyse usage. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your interests. You can control cookies from your browser settings.
7. Retention
For safety and investigation purposes, support chats, OTP requests, reports, location logs and profile change history may be kept for a long time. Deleting a post removes it from the public feed.
8. Security
Passwords are stored encrypted and sensitive data sits on a protected server. No system on the internet is 100% secure, so never share your password or OTP with anyone.
9. Your rights
You can view and edit your profile data, remove your photo, turn off notification and location permission from your browser, and request deletion of your account and personal data. Contact us through live chat to make a request.
10. Children
ShareVara is not meant for anyone under 18. If an account was opened by mistake, tell us and we will remove it.
11. Changes
This policy may be updated when needed. Important changes will be announced in the app.
ShareVara is only a digital platform that connects people with each other. Please read this before you use it.
1. We are not a party
We do not supply vehicles, drivers, homes, rooms, seats or service providers, and we are not anyone's employer or agent. All ride, to-let and service posts are created by users, and the poster is responsible for their truth and accuracy.
2. No payments go through us
Ride fares, rent, advances and service charges are settled directly between users. We do not take or hold money and are not liable for any financial loss. Verify before paying any advance and take a receipt or agreement where possible.
3. A verified badge is not a guarantee
A verified badge means our team reviewed some profile details. It is not a guarantee of anyone's behaviour, safety or quality of work.
4. Travel
The platform is not liable for accidents, delays, cancellations or personal disputes during a trip. Be cautious with people you do not know, meet in a busy public place the first time and confirm the pickup point in chat beforehand.
5. To-let
Photos, videos and descriptions come from the owner. Visit the place yourself, verify the owner's identity and do not pay an advance without an agreement. We are not responsible for rental agreements or disputes.
6. Local services
Service providers are independent individuals; we do not take responsibility for their skills, licences, quality of work, safety or punctuality. Agree on the rate and scope in chat before work starts, and pay after you check the work.
7. Chat, calls and location
We are not responsible for the conduct of the other party in chat or calls. Location is approximate and may not be precise. Block and report anything harassing or suspicious. In danger, call 999 first.
8. Content and accounts
Fake, misleading, offensive or unlawful content is prohibited. We may remove posts or suspend accounts that break the rules.
9. Availability and third parties
We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The content of ads and third-party links shown on the site is the responsibility of those parties.
10. Changes
This disclaimer may change when needed. Continuing to use the service means you accept the updated terms.
Please read these terms carefully before using ShareVara. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. These terms apply together with the Privacy Policy and the Disclaimer.
1. Eligibility and account
• You must be at least 18 years old to use ShareVara.
• Give your real name, a valid Bangladeshi mobile number, gender and occupation at signup. Fake or false details are not allowed.
• One person may use one account only. For safety, name, phone number, gender and occupation cannot be changed later.
2. Account security
• Keeping your password and OTP secret is your responsibility. Never share them; our support team will never ask for your password.
• You are responsible for everything done from your account. Report anything suspicious in live chat right away.
• Opening an account or trying a password reset with someone else's number or identity is prohibited.
3. Companion (ride sharing)
• Give the correct route, vehicle, free seats and total fare when posting. The per-person fare shown by the system is only an estimate.
• For instant rides, after booking a seat you must reach the pickup point within the window set by the poster (5 to 30 minutes). Tell them in chat if you are late.
• You cannot hold or accept more than one live instant post at a time. Multiple Scheduled rides are allowed if their times differ.
• A scheduled ride that nobody accepts may be cancelled automatically after its time has passed.
• Women-only or Men-only preferences depend on honest information. Misusing this feature with a false gender will lead to suspension.
• Repeatedly booking and not showing up, or cancelling rides without reason, counts as misuse.
• The fare is paid to the driver directly in cash. You can record who paid when completing a ride, but we never confirm or collect any payment.
4. To-let
• Keep the type, location, rent, amenities and rules of your listing true and up to date. Do not post anything you do not own or have no right to rent out.
• You can keep at most 5 active listings at a time, each with up to 6 photos and 2 videos (up to 150MB each). Videos may be reviewed before or after publishing.
• A listing that is not refreshed for 30 days is paused automatically. Mark it as settled once rented so others do not contact you needlessly.
• Using other people's photos, videos or descriptions without permission is prohibited.
• Rental agreements, advances and bills are settled between owner and tenant. We are not a party to them.
5. Local services
• Service providers are independent individuals, not employees or agents of ShareVara. You can keep at most 10 active service posts.
• Describe your skills, experience and rate truthfully. Do not claim work for which you lack the required licence or qualification.
• Agree on the rate and scope in chat before work starts, and pay after checking the work.
6. Fees and payments
• ShareVara is currently completely free. If a fee is introduced for any feature in future, it will be announced in the app first.
• Fares, advances and service charges are settled directly between users. We do not take or hold money and are not responsible for refunds.
• Do not trust anyone asking for money in the name of ShareVara; report them immediately.
7. Chat, calls and location
• Use chat and calls only for matters related to rides, to-lets or services. Harassment, threats, obscene or annoying behaviour is prohibited.
• Calling is controlled by the admin. It may not be on for everyone or at all times, especially video calls.
• Location is used for nearby ride alerts only with your permission, which you can turn off any time from your browser settings.
• Recording and publishing chats or calls without consent is prohibited.
8. Prohibited conduct
• Fake posts, fraud, spam or misleading ads.
• Illegal or offensive content, or content that violates others' rights.
• Scraping data with bots or scripts, abusing the system or API, or trying to break security.
• Abusing the OTP or password reset system.
• Sharing another user's phone number or personal details without their consent.
9. Verified badge, block and report
• A verified badge means our team reviewed some profile details. It is not a guarantee of anyone's behaviour.
• If someone behaves badly, block or report them from the chat. Reporting also blocks the user automatically.
• False or malicious reports are a form of misuse.
• In danger, call 999 first.
10. Suspension and removal of content
If you break these terms or put others at risk, we may remove posts, limit features or suspend your account, with or without prior notice. You can contact us in live chat to explain your side.
11. Ads and third parties
The site may show third-party ads (such as Google AdSense) and links. The content or services of those are the responsibility of the respective parties.
12. Limitation of liability
ShareVara is a connection platform. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for agreements, payments, accidents, delays, losses or disputes between users. We also do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. See the Disclaimer for details.
13. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated when needed. Important changes will be announced in the app. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the new terms.
