Pathao has added a three-wheeled auto-rickshaw service to its mobile platform as the Bangladeshi transportation company marks a decade of operations. The new CNG option joins existing motorcycle and car alternatives within the application, giving customers another choice for urban travel.
The company positions the auto-rickshaw tier between its least and most expensive offerings, targeting commuters seeking a balance between cost and comfort. Users selecting this transport method through the app can propose their own fare through a bidding system. Safety features include emergency alerts and location sharing capabilities, with coverage providing up to 100,000 taka in protection for both drivers and passengers. Customers paying through Pathao Pay can receive as much as 10 percent cashback on their next three CNG trips, capped at 300 taka total and 100 taka per journey, during a promotion running from Oct. 29 through Nov. 27.
The platform launched in 2015 and reports serving more than 10 million users across Bangladesh. Its network encompasses 300,000 drivers and delivery personnel, 200,000 merchants and 10,000 dining establishments. The company states it has generated more than 500,000 employment opportunities while operating services spanning ride-hailing, meal delivery and logistics.
