PickMe - The Best Ride-Hailing App For Free in Sri Lanka
PickMe is an app that is designed to help you navigate the roads of Sri Lanka in a convenient, safe and hassle-free manner. The app provides transportation solutions to commuters by allowing them to hail a taxi. In addition, it offers food delivery services.
PickMe was launched in June 2015 by a serial entrepreneur named Zulfer Jiffry. It has since become the most popular ride-hailing app in Sri Lanka. As of October 1, 2019, there are more than 2.5 million downloads of the PickMe app.
Its features include the ability to hail a taxi, request a pickup or delivery, book a taxi, and calculate the cost of a ride. Moreover, it also provides the option to assign up to five emergency contact numbers.
One of the app's latest offerings is the PickMe Pass, which provides a 10% discount on all rides. Another noteworthy feature is the PickMe Flash, an on-demand parcel delivery platform. This app allows users to receive packages from anywhere in Sri Lanka.
The PickMe app was developed by Digital Mobility Solutions Lanka (Private) Ltd., a Colombo-based company specializing in mobile applications.
The PickMe App is available in Tamil, Sinhala, and English. It allows users to create a PickMe account using an email address or a phone number. Once the account is created, the user can track the location of the driver, view passenger profiles, and see real-time fare estimates.
The PickMe app uses GPS and GIS technology to improve the performance of its taxi hailing and delivery service. Furthermore, it also reduces the chances of passengers losing their luggage.
