About Khalasi
Live public-transport discovery built for Nepal
Khalasi connects drivers, conductors (khalasis), vehicle owners, and passengers through simple, voluntary vehicle-location sharing. Our goal is to make public transportation easier to find and more useful for the people who operate it and depend on it every day.
For drivers and khalasis
Enter the current vehicle and route once, then start sharing when the trip begins. Passengers nearby can discover the vehicle and prepare to board. Saved vehicle details make the next trip quicker to start, and the driver remains in control of when live sharing stops.
For passengers and vehicle owners
See active public vehicles nearby, search by vehicle or route, filter by vehicle type, and open a live map for the selected vehicle. Distance, direction, freshness, and approximate arrival information can help users decide when to leave, while local favorites make frequent vehicles easier to find again.
How Khalasi works
- A driver or khalasi voluntarily shares the vehicle's live location.
- Khalasi displays fresh, active vehicles to passengers within an expanding nearby radius.
- Passengers can view the route and follow the selected vehicle on a live map.
- The driver's live record is removed after Stop Sharing succeeds, and stale records are hidden from passengers.
Khalasi does not require a personal profile, phone number, or email address. Drivers use an anonymous identifier, passenger favorites remain on the device, and passenger GPS coordinates are not saved in Khalasi's Firebase database. Driver location is visible only as part of an active sharing session.
What the map information means
Live positions and arrival times are estimates. GPS accuracy, one-minute driver updates, traffic, route changes, and network conditions can affect what appears. Khalasi waits for enough movement evidence before showing an approximate ETA and avoids presenting one when the vehicle appears stationary or is moving away.
Our mission
We want to help passengers spend less time waiting without information and help drivers reach passengers already looking for a ride. Khalasi is being built as a practical, low-cost tool that can grow with Nepal's public-transport community.
