Mobility Hub Africa
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. A more reliable commute, without adding more cars to Accra's roads.
What we do
UpRide finds the Commuters whose journey fits inside a Partner's, handles the introduction, the schedule and the money, and takes a share. We don't own cars, we don't employ anyone to drive, and we don't send anybody anywhere.

Ways to travel
Commute, Group, Trek
These are the mornings UpRide is designed around, and one of them needs a product we have not built yet.
Shift teams
When a whole shift travels the same corridor at the same hour, the answer is a van on the route rather than borrowed seats. That is UpRide Group, and it is still being designed.
See what Group will beTeachers
A recurring weekly plan on your corridor, with a person you chose. Not whoever an app dispatches that morning.
Partners
Publish the drive, see who fits inside it, accept only what works. A journey you were making anyway starts paying its own share.
Shift workers
Corridors carry the times Partners actually travel, including the ones that start when everyone else is going home.
The two apps
For Commuters. Say where you're going and when, see the Partners whose route passes yours, and pick one.
For Partners. Publish your corridor, see who wants to come along and what detour they cost you, and take the ones that fit.
Where we are
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.
