§ 01 · Promises
Four things we actually commit to.
We are not reinventing motorbike taxis — we are organising what is already here around four promises the current system cannot reliably keep.
Fair, fixed prices
Every ride is quoted up front from a published formula. No haggling, no tourist tax, no invented surge.
Change in small bills
Pay in Euro at a flat 3% fee. Get your change in 50 and 100 shilling notes — the bills Diani is always short of.
Honest ETAs
You see the driver's real GPS pin and an arrival time computed from where they actually are. Late beats lied to.
Reviewed, safe drivers
Every ride ends with feedback. Two upheld complaints and a driver is out. We mean it.

§ 07 · Honest limits
What we won't promise.
Not the cheapest
Undercutting is incompatible with paying drivers fairly. We compete on trust, not price.
Not instant
A boda on Beach Road at 19:00 isn't 3 minutes away. We show real ETAs.
Not a supermarket app
30 standard items done well. The rest as Special Shopping with honest quotes.
Not a foreign brand
Diani's network, run from Ukunda, owned over time by the people who drive it.
Open Telegram. Start the ride.
