The next useful milestone
One route. People who choose to come back.
We’re preparing a small pilot around Yaba with route-aligned drivers and a commuter community. The goal is to learn whether riders use it again and drivers find the earnings worthwhile. The exact route, dates and partner arrangements are still being agreed.
Prepare the people
Driver onboarding and coordination with a commuter community whose journeys already overlap.
Make the pickup practical
Field coordination, connectivity and the operating details needed for a focused pilot.
Measure what matters
Completed rides, repeat use, complete journey costs and driver net earnings.
Bring more than a transfer.
An operator introduction, a commuter group or help with a specific pilot expense can move the work forward.
