Birge
About Birge
Birge is a service where people travel across Central Asia together and split the cost of the ride.
Why it exists
Getting between cities in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan usually means choosing between two inconveniences: a private taxi you pay for alone, or a marshrutka on a timetable with changes. Yet someone else is almost always going the same way on the same day.
Birge helps those people find each other: fill a car together and split its price. It costs less than a taxi and is easier than a marshrutka — with stops on the way and luggage agreed in advance.
How it works
An organiser posts a trip: route, date, number of seats and the price of the car.
Travellers send a request — how many of them and what luggage.
The organiser confirms, and the trip chat opens: meeting point, time, payment.
The car's price is split between everyone who travels; the full-group price is shown in advance.
Birge is a platform, not a carrier: we do not drive people or take payments. The details are in the terms of use →
What we believe in
A fair price
The car's cost is visible before you request a seat, and each share is calculated on the trip page.
People with ratings
After a trip, travellers review each other.
Order
Any message or participant can be reported, and the team reviews reports.
Your language
The site works in English, Russian and Korean and adapts to your phone.
