Driver view · illustrative rider demand
The product, already running
One route. A clear flow for everyone in it.
Riders find and track the seat. Drivers keep control of the route, the riders, and the fare.
Your normal route stays yours.
TagRides adds matched demand around the trip you were making anyway. It does not turn your commute into a chain of blind pickup detours.
- Post the route you already planned
- Choose riders and open seats
- Accept or counter each fare once
Rider flow
Choose where you are going
Search a Lagos destination and see route-aware pickup options around you.
Danfo-level fares.
Ride-hailing-level accountability.
Each matching driver gets a separate fare for the road they share with the rider. The rider can edit each offer; the driver accepts or counters once. No repeated bidding or hidden surge pricing.
Built for accountable shared mobility
Safety isn’t a feature. It’s the whole point.
Know who you ride with
Driver identity and vehicle details are checked before activation. Riders and drivers both build ratings over time.
Keep the trip visible
Track the pickup, share the live trip, and report an incident with the route and participant records attached.
Agree before pickup
The fare is recorded before the ride starts. Pay with cash or wallet without changing the agreed amount.
Built from Lagos, not assumptions
Researched, built, and already running.
The first corridor is deliberately narrow: prove reliable matching on one daily commute, then expand with evidence.
