Built for campuses in Ghana
Get across
Traverse matches students with drivers who already serve their campus. Ride on your own, or share with someone already heading the same way and pay less for it. Pay from a wallet topped up with campus MoMo, or settle with the driver after the trip.

Open the driver app
The rider app
Not a screenshot. The actual flow.
Everything to the right runs. Pick your stops, choose a ride type, watch a driver get matched, adjust seats and see the fare change, then follow the trip to drop-off. The fare comes from the same rules the product ships with — base fare, tier surcharge and group discount — and every campus sets its own base fare, so the amounts inside the demo are illustrative rather than a price list.
What you can do
A ride for how students actually move.
Campus travel is not a series of unrelated trips. It is the same 7am lecture every weekday, the same walk back from the library at 9pm, and three friends going to the same place at the same time.
Ride types
Standard or Solo. That is the whole choice.
Same drivers, same campus, same stops. The only question is whether anyone else is in the car with you — share it, or take it on your own.
Paying for it
Settle with the driver. Hand over the fare at drop-off, the way a taxi works. Nothing to set up, and nothing to top up first.
Or from the wallet. A prepaid balance in cedis, with every debit and credit on your own statement. Which top-up rail is open is a campus decision, and the app offers the wallet only where one is running.
Nothing is charged up front. The wallet is debited when the driver accepts, not when you tap.
Book ahead and pay less. Ask for a ride a couple of hours before you need it and the fare drops. The time is what lets us find someone already going your way — and a shared car is what makes any of this cheap.
Pay from the wallet and pay less. A fare taken from your balance costs less than one settled in cash at the end of the ride.
Passes and bundles. A pass covers your own seat. Book for friends and you pay their fares — said plainly, before the car, not at drop-off.

Sharing a ride
The car was already going that way.
Pooling is not a discount bolted onto a normal ride. It is the app noticing that a driver already carrying someone can pick you up without going far out of their way — and refusing the match when they can't.
1
Ama is already in a car
Heading from the Canteen to the JCR. Three seats still empty.
2
You ask for a ride nearby
Main Gate to the Library. The matcher checks what adding you would cost the trip already running.
3
The detour is measured, not guessed
If picking you up adds more delay than the campus cap allows, the match is rejected and you get your own car. Ama is not made late so that your ride costs less.
4
One car, two students, two fares
Same driver, one route that already made sense. The seat count on the card tells you exactly what you're joining — 1/4 means one seat taken, three free.
Trust and safety
The parts you only notice when they fail.
A campus is small. Everyone finds out who was in whose car, which is exactly why the rules below are enforced by the product rather than left to good manners.
An SOS that leaves a record
The button texts your trusted contact the ride details and where you are. The alert is written down as well as sent, so there is something to review afterwards instead of a memory of a text.
Drivers get the same SOS
A driver carries strangers at night too. They get the same button and their own emergency contact, recorded the same way. Safety on Traverse is not something one side of the car has and the other does not.
For drivers
Drive the campus you already know.
You get requests from the stops you already serve, you see the fare before you accept, and earnings land in the same wallet the riders pay from.
Before accepting
you see route and fare
Decline freely
no score, no penalty
Your week
earnings by day and by week
Decline as often as you like. There is no acceptance rate, no score and no quiet penalty for saying no. The system has nowhere to record one.
Breaks are part of the rules. After a stretch on duty your campus offers a break, and the length is its policy rather than your nerve.
Flag-downs count too. Somebody waves you down at the gate, you start the trip in the app and it is a real trip, with a real record and a real fare.
You know the cut before you drive. The campus rate is set in the open and can be adjusted for an individual driver. It is a number, not a moving target.

Questions
The ones that actually get asked.
Get the app
Book on the web. Ride with the app.
You can find a car and book it right here in a browser. The ride itself — following the car in, the SOS, calling your driver without either of you handing over a number — needs the app, because a browser tab that is not in front stops being allowed to do those things.
Driving instead? The driver app is on Google Play.
Off-campus pickups
Not on campus? We will still come and get you.
A ride does not have to start or end at a campus stop. If you stay off campus, text us and we will set your pickups up — and once you are set up, they run any day of the week. It is the arranging that happens at weekends, so text us on a Saturday with where you are and the days you need.
Text us on
0500 530 354How an off-campus pickup works
- The pickups themselves run any day. Once you are set up, your ride can be whatever day you need it — weekday mornings included.
- The arranging happens at weekends, Saturday for preference. That is when we plan the week’s off-campus runs and work out who can share a car. Text us then, not on the day you need the ride.
- Text, do not call. WhatsApp or SMS, either is fine — but it has to be in writing so there is a record of who asked for what. You do need SMS working on your phone, because that is where your confirmation comes.
- GHS 18 a seat, to anywhere on campus. One price from your place to wherever you are actually going — your hall, your department, the library. There is nothing to add on when you get through the gate.
- Three of you, minimum. Not a discount rule — a car has three seats on an ordinary day, and an off-campus run only works if it leaves full. On campus a driver can set off with one person because others get on along the way; out here nobody does.
- Have the balance ready before the day. Your in-app balance has to cover your own seat and every seat you booked for someone else. Nothing is taken when you book — the fare comes out when the driver picks you up.
- You will hear from us twice, at most. Once when your ride is confirmed — and again at least an hour before your pickup time if it turns out we cannot make it. No news after the confirmation means the car is coming.
- A seat is not guaranteed. Filling the car is our job, not yours. If we cannot find three people going your way on the day you asked for, the run does not happen — we will tell you in good time and offer you the next one.
GHS 18 a seat · anywhere on campus
The same whether you are coming from Madina, Haatso or East Legon, and the same wherever on campus you are going. Three seats minimum; a fourth can come along on a busy day at the same price.

The mapped list of off-campus pickups is Legon’s for now. Anywhere else, text the number above with your place and the days you need — the same GHS 18 a seat, the same weekend scheduling, the same three minimum.
