Mobility Hub Africa
We didn't set out to add
cars to Accra's roads.
The capacity to fix commuting in this city already exists. It is sitting in the empty back seats of cars that leave for work every morning.
What we do
Matching journeys,
not dispatching cars.
UpRide finds the passengers whose journey fits inside a driver's, handles the introduction, the schedule and the money, and takes a share. We do not own cars, we do not employ drivers, and we do not send anybody anywhere.
The two apps
UpRide
For passengers. Say where you are going and when, see the commuters whose route passes yours, and pick one.
UpRide Driver
For drivers. Publish your corridor, see who wants to come along and what detour they cost you, and accept the ones that fit.
Where we are
Accra first,
and properly.
A carpooling product is only as good as the density of the corridor it runs on, which makes expanding early the fastest way to be bad everywhere. So this is Accra, Ghana — Weija to Mallam, Adenta to the Airport, Kasoa to Ridge — until those work.
