zing Electric Shared Cab | Free Pick & Drop With Every Booking

zing Electric is India’s first shared intercity electric cab service, built as a natural extension of zingbus buses.

The Core Idea?

When you book a zingbus ticket (zingbus Plus, zingbus MAXX, or zingbus EV), you’re not just getting a bus seat. You’re getting an end-to-end journey that includes free shared electric cab pick-up and drop-off at thousands of locations where buses cannot go.

No extra payments. No separate cab bookings. Just seamless travel from your home to your actual destination.

“Sustainable mobility is the future & zingbus is committed to the electrification of intercity mobility”

Prashant Kumar, CEO & Co-Founder, zingbus

How zing Electric Works

Let’s understand the 3-step based model of zing electric that how it works.

Simple 3-Step Model

1. Book Your zingbus Ticket

Choose your route (e.g., Delhi to Dehradun), pick your bus type (zingbus Plus, zingbus MAXX, zingbus EV), select your seat, and pay.

2. Get Free Shared Cab at First-Mile

You depart in a shared electric cab from your pickup location (e.g., Mussoorie) to the main bus hub (e.g., Dehradun).

3. Bus Journey + Last-Mile Drop

Complete your intercity journey by bus, then get dropped by shared electric cab directly to your destination.

“Everything is included in one zingbus ticket.“
