Why this corridor is Gujarat's busiest

Ahmedabad's textile and finance industry and Surat's diamond-cutting and polyester trade mean thousands of people move between the two cities every week — for business meetings, weekend family visits, and job commutes. NH48 between them is a well-maintained highway, so drive times stay consistent regardless of season.

How Rodshare sets the fare

The suggested fare comes from road distance, vehicle type, and seats offered — roughly ₹3–₹6 per kilometre per seat — and drivers can't price above it. That keeps the Ahmedabad–Surat fare predictable trip to trip, instead of swinging with demand.
