In handling security, have each user (drivers n riders) upload their picture &National ID. This info is available whenever u confirm a ride. Guys hitch riders to western kenya every day with strangers they have no clue about...matatu carries strangers n still works alright

Yeah a carpooling platform for the kenyan market - where private car
owners can choose to share a ride and split the cost. I think those western platforms fail with all the details they require from drivers... keep it simple . i have a car - this make .. am headed this way at time x .. have x empty seats .. lets carpool no credit cards no nothing

Sounds like an idea that if well implemented would be solid. This is a niche that Little can go into seeing as it is by a local company. But NTSA may have an issue as this can also be a mat that sits outside an office eg Upperhill and gets riders on a particular route.
