Cover the commute that fits your city
Monthly transport credit for ride-hailing, fuel, metro, and bus — employees pick what works for them.
Commuting in Lagos, Nairobi, or Cairo is expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. A transport allowance doesn't just reduce a financial burden — it signals to employees that you understand the reality of getting to work every day. That recognition matters.
A monthly transport allowance loaded to the employee benefits wallet. Employees choose how to use it — ride credits, fuel vouchers, metro passes, or bus rapid transit credits — based on how they actually commute.

How it works
Company sets a monthly transport allowance per employee tier.
On the 1st of the month, credit loads to each employee's employee benefits wallet.
Employees select their channel: ride credit, fuel, metro, or bus.
Credits load directly to ride-hailing accounts or voucher codes are issued for fuel and transit.
Credit resets monthly.
What employees get
Ride credit loaded directly to employees' ride-hailing accounts
Fuel vouchers redeemable at partner petrol stations
Monthly metro or BRT passes (Cairo, Lagos, Nairobi and more)
Additional ride network coverage in markets where available
Flexible split — mix ride credit and fuel in the same month
Why companies choose this.
Reduce commute stress
Transport costs are a real burden for employees in African cities. A monthly allowance directly improves take-home value.
Market-relevant channels
We activate the right transport options per city — ride-hailing in Nairobi, ride and metro credits in Cairo, BRT credits in Lagos.
One invoice
You don't manage separate vendor relationships for each transport channel or market. We handle it all.
Why employees love it.
Works with your commute
Whether you ride-hail, drive, or take the metro — your allowance covers it.
Instant loading
Ride credit appears in your ride app account within minutes. Fuel and transit codes arrive by email.
Split how you like
Use some for rides and some for fuel. The platform doesn't restrict how you allocate within your allowance.
Why not just add it to salary?
Transport costs are invisible in a salary increase — they're absorbed into general spending. A dedicated transport credit is used for transport. Employees associate the benefit with their commute every single day, not once at month-end when salary lands. That daily touchpoint creates a consistent, visible reminder of your investment in their working life.
Built for how your team actually works.
Office-based teams in major cities
Daily commuting costs in Lagos, Nairobi, and Cairo are significant. A transport credit directly offsets them.
Field and sales teams
Teams covering territory need fuel or ride credits. This eliminates the reimbursement cycle.
Junior and mid-level staff
Transport costs represent a larger share of income at lower grades. The impact is felt most here.
New hires in their first 30 days
Covering commute costs during onboarding removes a practical friction point in those critical first weeks.
