The problem

Lagos commuters deserve better than this.

Out of reach

Ride-hailing platforms

Premium pricing, daily

Great when you need it once. Hard to sustain daily commute. Surge pricing makes budgeting your commute nearly impossible.

Uncomfortable

Public transport

The price works. The experience often does not.

Overcrowded, unpredictable, and a daily source of stress for passengers and their families. Affordable is not the same as acceptable.

Wakapadi

A private car, going your way.

Comfortable, safe, and affordable.

Sit with someone already heading your direction. NIN-verified, GPS-tracked, fully cashless. The comfort of a private car at a price that makes sense for daily life.

How it works

Getting started is easy.

1

Find your corridor

Enter where you are heading from and going to. See NIN-verified drivers on your route, with ratings, vehicle info, and departure times.

2

Book your seat

Pay through the app. Funds sit in escrow with Paystack until your trip is complete. Your seat is held. Your money is protected.

3

Confirm before you go

Ten minutes before pickup, you and your driver both confirm. You get their plate number. They get your verified profile. Everyone knows the plan.

4

Your people are notified

A trusted contact gets your driver's details and a live location link the moment your trip begins. No app needed on their end.

5

Make it a routine

After two good rides with the same driver, set up a Standing Trip. It auto-confirms every week. Your commute sorts itself out.
