About this app

Introducing a completely new Oga Taxi app, now with social ride-pooling. Now you’re in control and can choose with whom to pool your taxi ride with. Save up to 40% on a pooled ride or choose a classic ride and enjoy the journey all by yourself.

Here’s how it works:
1. Enter your pick-up and drop-off locations
2. Choose a classic ride or a pooled ride to save up to 40% on your fare
3. For a pooled ride: swipe through profiles and choose your fellow passenger
4. Press confirm and wait to be picked up by your driver. You will be notified when your car has arrived.
5. At the end of your ride rate your driver and fellow passenger (for pooled rides only)

Choosing a pooled ride lets you save up to 40% on your regular fare. The unique matching engine in the app automatically looks for people going the same way as you are and suggests you profiles of fellow passengers. Just swipe through them and choose the one you’d like to have a pooled ride with. At the end of the ride you’ll be asked to rate both your driver and your fellow passenger.

Want to ride by yourself? No problem, just choose a classic ride when ordering a taxi.

Our app uses location tracking to automatically define your location, so driver will be able to locate you even if you’ve ordered a ride on an unnamed street. Once the ride is requested you can see your driver coming your way directly in the app in real-time. Pay using PayPal, cash or add a bank card to your secure account and never worry about carrying cash for transportation

Our mission is to make movement of people in Nigeria quick, safe and convenient. That’s why we are continuously improving the app and introducing new features to provide an even better ride sharing and ride-pooling experience.
