Oya means let us go.
In Lagos, people say it to get moving. We are building a ride-hailing app that does the same: fair fares, safe trips and a driver who is already on the way.
Getting around Lagos should not feel like a negotiation you lose.
Fares jump with the weather. Cancellations come without warning. Drivers hand over a large share of every trip and still cannot predict their week.
Oya starts from the other side. Riders see a clear price and can offer their own. Drivers see the destination before they accept and keep more of every fare. Both sides can reach a person when something goes wrong.
What we hold ourselves to
Fair fares
Prices you can read at a glance, with the option to offer your own.
Safe trips
A trip PIN, live sharing and verified drivers on every ride.
Drivers keep more
Commission starts at 9%, and drivers request payouts to their own account.
Pay your way
Card before the trip, or cash when you arrive. No pay-later surprises.
How it works
Set your trip
Choose your pickup and where you are going. See the fare up front.
Pick your driver
Compare offers, see ratings and the car, then choose who you ride with.
Ride safely
Check the PIN at pickup, follow the trip on the map, and share it with someone you trust.
Where we are going
Dates are plans and will move as we learn.
Design and testing
Rider and driver apps in design and prototype. Early waitlist open.
Lagos pilot
A small launch in Lagos with a limited group of drivers.
