Definition
搭伴 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to travel together' or 'to team up with someone for a trip or task'. The 搭 and 伴 can split to insert a measure word or modifier, as in 搭个伴儿 ('form a partnership'). It implies doing something together for mutual convenience, not just coincidentally being in the same place.
