Traverse matches students with drivers who already serve their campus. Share a ride with someone already heading the same way and pay less for it. You settle with the driver during the ride; nothing is charged in the app.

The rider app
Not a screenshot. The actual flow.
Everything in the phone runs. Pick your stops, watch a driver get matched, adjust seats and see the fare change, then follow the trip to drop-off. The fare comes from the same table the product charges from — a price for each distance and party size — and the campus sets its own table, so the amounts inside the demo are illustrative rather than a price list.
What you can do
A ride for how students actually move.
Campus travel is not a series of unrelated trips. It is the same 7am lecture every weekday, the same walk back from the library at 9pm, and three friends going to the same place at the same time.
The ride
Share the car, pay less.
Same drivers, same campus, same stops. Someone else may be going your way, and that is what keeps the fare down.
What it costs
No surge, no guessing, no meter creeping up while you sit in traffic. You see the fare before you book, and that is the fare.
A short trip
Up to 3 km.
GHS8
for one · GHS 12 for two or three together
A long trip
Over 3 km. eg. From a Diaspora hall to TF Hostel.
GHS15
for one · GHS 17 for two or three together
Bring people
The price is for the trip, not a headcount. A friend riding along on a short trip takes the fare from GHS 8 to GHS 12 — for both of you, together. A third rides for the same GHS 12. Book for four and the whole car is GHS 14.
A shared car usually takes three, so nobody is squeezed into the middle seat. On busy days, or when you book for four, it takes four.
Book ahead, pay less
Reserve a ride at least an hour before you need it and the fare drops — a short trip falls to GHS 7 and a long one to GHS 13.
Time is what lets us find someone already heading your way.
Paying for it
Settle with the driver. Hand over the fare during the ride, the way a taxi works. Nothing to set up, and nothing to top up first.
Nothing is charged in the app. There is no balance to keep and nothing is taken when you book.
Groups pay one price. Book for your friends and pay one price for the whole group, less than separate seats.
Planning ahead
Reserve for later. Book a ride for a specific time, from 30 minutes ahead up to two weeks out. A driver is matched automatically as it gets close. Book at least an hour ahead and the fare is lower.
Your reservations. See what you have reserved, and cancel if your plans change.
Sharing a ride
The car was already going that way.
Pooling is not a discount bolted onto a normal ride. It is the app noticing that a driver already carrying someone can pick you up without going far out of their way — and refusing the match when they can't.
- 1
Ama is already in a car
Heading from the Canteen to the JCR. Three seats still empty.
- 2
You ask for a ride nearby
Main Gate to the Library. The matcher checks what adding you would cost the trip already running.
- 3
The detour is measured, not guessed
If picking you up adds more delay than the campus cap allows, the match is rejected and you get your own car. Ama is not made late so that your ride costs less.

One car, two students, two fares
Same driver, one route that already made sense. The seat count on the card tells you exactly what you're joining — 1/4 means one seat taken, three free.
Trust and safety
The parts you only notice when they fail.
A campus is small. Everyone finds out who was in whose car, which is exactly why the rules below are enforced by the product rather than left to good manners.
An SOS that leaves a record
The button texts your trusted contact the ride details and where you are. The alert is written down as well as sent, so there is something to review afterwards instead of a memory of a text.
Drivers get the same SOS
A driver carries strangers at night too. They get the same button and their own emergency contact, recorded the same way. Safety on Traverse is not something one side of the car has and the other does not.
For drivers
Drive the campus you already know.
You get requests from the stops you already serve, you see the fare before you accept, and the app shows what each day and week came to.
- you see route and fare
- Before accepting
- earnings today and this week
- Your week
- You see it before you say yes. Each request shows the route and the fare, and you accept or decline.
- Your earnings, in the open. Today and this week, with your net and the company’s net side by side and a count of the riders you carried.

Off-campus pickups
Not on campus? We will still come and get you.
A ride does not have to start or end at a campus stop. If you stay off campus, text us and we will set your pickups up — and once you are set up, they run any day of the week. It is the arranging that happens at weekends, so text us on a Saturday with where you are and the days you need.
Text us on
0500 530 354How an off-campus pickup works
The pickups themselves run any day. Once you are set up, your ride can be whatever day you need it — weekday mornings included.
The arranging happens at weekends, Saturday for preference. That is when we plan the week’s off-campus runs and work out who can share a car. Text us then, not on the day you need the ride.
Text, do not call. WhatsApp or SMS, either is fine — but it has to be in writing so there is a record of who asked for what. You do need SMS working on your phone, because that is where your confirmation comes.
GHS 18 a seat, to anywhere on campus. One price from your place to wherever you are actually going — your hall, your department, the library. There is nothing to add on when you get through the gate.
Three of you, minimum. Not a discount rule — a car has three seats on an ordinary day, and an off-campus run only works if it leaves full. On campus a driver can set off with one person because others get on along the way; out here nobody does.
Have the balance ready before the day. Your in-app balance has to cover your own seat and every seat you booked for someone else. Nothing is taken when you book — the fare comes out when the driver picks you up.
You will hear from us twice, at most. Once when your ride is confirmed — and again at least an hour before your pickup time if it turns out we cannot make it. No news after the confirmation means the car is coming.
A seat is not guaranteed. Filling the car is our job, not yours. If we cannot find three people going your way on the day you asked for, the run does not happen — we will tell you in good time and offer you the next one.
GHS 18
a seat · anywhere on campus
The same whether you are coming from Madina, Haatso or East Legon, and the same wherever on campus you are going. Three seats minimum; a fourth can come along on a busy day at the same price.
