How it works

How does Arigo work?

Arigo does not operate with fixed service routes. Users enter their own origin and destination points. Matching depends on finding other passengers heading in a similar direction at a similar time.

Route-based matching

Each passenger enters their own origin and destination; the system checks route compatibility.

Time and demand dependent

Matching depends on having passengers heading in a similar direction at the same time.

Transparent fare sharing

Fare sharing is shown with explanatory trip details.

Difference

How Arigo differs from public transit and fixed services

No fixed routes

Users enter their own origin and destination points. There are no preset stops or fixed schedules.

Demand-dependent matching

Trips become shareable when compatible passengers are found at a similar time. This differs from scheduled public transit.

Taxi comfort, not a bus experience

Arigo preserves taxi-style comfort. It does not replace metro, bus, ferry, or official airport transport.

Not a transit planner

Arigo does not plan multi-leg public transit journeys. It focuses on direct taxi-style trips with compatible passengers.
