• Trevo plans to make your daily travel much more convenient, reliable and hassle-free.
• Today either there are low-cost public transport options like the bus / metros which cost < Rs 2 /km, but are extremely uncomfortable and overcrowded, or at the other spectrum there are door-to-door options like Uber / UberPool, which are convenient but heavy on the pocket (i.e. > Rs 10-15 /km), to be used for daily use. Auto are in the middle, which are somewhat convenient but again decently expensive (~Rs 10 /km). There is a huge gap in between, a massive market to be addressed.
