BlaBlaCar's Growth in India

BlaBlaCar is experiencing rapid growth in India, with 20 million passengers expected this year, a 50% increase from last year.

A 21-year-old student, Lavanya Jain, uses the BlaBlaCar app to travel from Noida to Kandhla, a 120-kilometer journey, for around ₹500 ($6), significantly cheaper than a private cab.

If you’re looking for a fast, efficient, affordable, and comfortable way to travel — and you like to chat — you should basically check out BlaBlaCar.

Jain has used the app 40 to 50 times in the past two years and is one of millions of Indians turning to long-distance carpooling as a cheaper, more social way to travel between cities.
