Nobody built a fleet. Nobody added more cars to the road. We just asked the ones already driving to look up.
KM 0.6Why it hurts
We asked. 300+ students answered.
Cheap and laten=311
96.8%

Fast and broken=310
98.4%
say ride-hailing at ₱75–200 is too expensive for a student budget.
The empty seatn=285
98.2%

KM 1.4How a match happens
Zero detours. Zero guesswork.
A driver already on the corridor never leaves their route. Here is the entire flow, curb to campus.

BeaconOff
Tap the beacon
A student driver already heading to campus flips a single toggle. No detour planning, no accepting a dispatch — they just say "I'm on my way."
KM 2.2What you ride
One scooter seat. One car door.
Both are already crawling down N. Bacalso every morning. HitchKa matches on whichever one is going your way.

Same 5 km. Bulacao to campus.
Students are not choosing between good options. They are choosing between slow, unaffordable, and nothing.
Corridor estimates for a representative 5 km hop, not quoted fares. A HitchKa seat pays the driver ₱20–30 from a published fuel-cost formula, all of it theirs, plus one ₱2.50 Tech Pass credit.
KM 3.6For the driver
Your empty seat chips in for gas.
Drivers are not paid. The fuel share goes back toward gas they were burning on the way to class anyway. Test it against today's pump price.

At ₱86.00/L, 2 lifts a day cover 116% of this scooter driver's weekly fuel bill — their entire commute rides free.
KM 4.2Who you ride with
Riding with a stranger is the whole problem.
So nobody on HitchKa is one. Three checks, all enforced before departure — try the switches on the pass.

KM 4.7The fine print
Not colorum. Not a dispatcher.
A lift on HitchKa is private vehicle pooling between fellow students. Here is exactly why, one line at a time.
- The trip
- Student drivers are travelling to their own classes either way. The lift is incidental to a trip already happening.
- The money
- A published fuel-cost formula, ₱20–30 a seat, all of it to the driver. HitchKa takes no cut: riders prepay a ₱2.50 Tech Pass credit per ride.
- Dispatch
- None. Nobody can be summoned on demand — a match only happens on a route the driver is already riding.
- Insurance
- Every registered vehicle already carries mandatory CTPL insurance.
- What we are
- An institutional software directory for private peer vehicle pooling.
KM 5.0CIT-U main gate
6:55 AM.Class is at 7:30.
You made it with time to spare, and a fellow student's gas got cheaper on a trip they were taking anyway. That is the whole idea.
