The challenge

Students needed safe, affordable rides around campus towns, and riders needed a fair, reliable way to find trips. Off-the-shelf ride-hailing apps weren't designed for student budgets, campus geography or safety concerns.

Our approach

We built separate native Android apps for passengers and drivers, with live maps, pickup confirmation, M-Pesa or cash fares and a dedicated safety toolkit including trip sharing and SOS alerts. A web dashboard runs operations.

The outcome

A complete mobility platform: matching in under a minute, transparent fares from KSh 80, and safety features students and parents can trust.

What we built
