Cabs already coming back — at a discount
A one-way Patna → Darbhanga cab costs ₹3,000–3,500 because you are paying for the driver's empty drive home. On LinkLift the driver lists that return leg and sells its seats (or the whole car) at a lower price — everyone wins.
The empty-return problem
Across India roughly a quarter to a third of commercial trips run empty on the way back. In Bihar's Patna-centred travel pattern the share is higher: cars go out full with a family or a patient and return with nobody. LinkLift Return turns that dead mileage into the cheapest fare on the corridor.
How it works
- 1
A driver drops a passenger
Suresh drops Ravi in Darbhanga at 11 AM and marks 'Returning 4 PM, 4 seats free'.
- 2
You see the return
Priya searches Darbhanga → Patna and sees Suresh's cab at ₹650 a seat or ₹2,200 for the car.
- 3
Both legs paid
Suresh earns twice, Priya pays a third of a fresh one-way, LinkLift takes a small fee.
Frequently asked questions
Is a return-trip cab less reliable?
No. The driver has a confirmed outbound job, a KYC profile and a rating. If a return is cancelled you are refunded and rebooked.
Can I book the whole car?
Yes — a full-car return is typically 30–40 % cheaper than a fresh one-way.
When do returns get listed?
Usually the same morning or the day before. Set a route alert and we notify you.
