Fixed Pricing: No Haggling, No Surprises

Anyone who has taken a motorcycle taxi in Goma knows the drill: you state your destination, the driver names a price, and the negotiation begins. If it's raining, the price doubles. If it's late, it triples. The fare depends on the driver's mood, the weather, and how desperate you look. We built Twende to end that cycle.

Twende uses a transparent, distance-based pricing model. When you book a ride, the app calculates the fare based on the route — and that's the price you pay. No negotiations, no surge pricing, no surprises. The same trip costs the same amount whether it's sunny or pouring rain, whether it's morning rush hour or midnight.

This model benefits everyone. Passengers know exactly what they'll pay before they confirm. Drivers earn fairly and consistently without the stress of haggling. And the trust that comes with transparency makes the entire experience better for both sides.

We believe fair pricing is a form of respect — respect for your time, your money, and your dignity. That's the Twende standard.
