Swvl was founded in 2017 with a mission to reinvent and build the mass transit system of the developing world. Swvl, present in Pakistan, Egypt and Kenya, aims to revolutionize and disrupt the mass transportation scene by providing a technology-based alternative to public transportation, leading to helping more commute for less, with ease and comfort.

The company operates bus lines on fixed routes with customers boarding the buses from specific pick-up spots to be dropped off at their preferred stations.

To book a Swvl bus, all you need to do is download the App from App Store or Play Store, choose your pickup and drop-off stations along with your preferred time and book a ride. You can then board the bus from your chosen pickup station.

Swvl has also announced a welcome promo for Islamabad and Rawalpindi “SWVLFREE” for free rides.
