Botride
How it works

Pay. Counted. Recorded.

Botride sits quietly on top of the payments matatus already take. Here is the journey of a single fare, from boarding to a trustworthy record.

01

A passenger boards and pays

The passenger pays their fare the way they already do, with M-Pesa. No new app is required to pay, and no cash changes hands.

02

The fare is counted automatically

Botride recognises the payment and counts it against the trip — the right fare for the route, counted once.

03

The crew sees who has paid

A live, ordered list shows who has paid and how much — so the crew can keep moving instead of checking phones.

04

Every trip leaves a record

When the trip ends, there is a clean record of what was collected — for the crew, the owner, and the SACCO.

Where it's headed

From helping the crew to collecting on its own.

Botride is being built in steps. Today it gives the crew a clear view of who has paid. With each step, more of the collecting happens on its own — moving the whole trip towards automated fare collection.
