How to use it on WhatsApp
There is nothing to download and no account to create. You type one word and answer a few questions, exactly as you would message a friend.
Send OYA
Message our WhatsApp number and send the word OYA. First time, you verify once with your NIN. After that you never do it again.
Choose a driver, or ask nearby
If you have saved drivers, they are listed and you pick one. If not, tap Ask drivers near me and the request goes out to verified drivers around you.
Say where you are going
Share your pickup location or type the address, then your destination, then the fare you want to pay.
Pick from the replies
Drivers reply with their car, their price and how far away they are. Tap the one you want.
Track him, then pay cash
You get a link to watch the car approach and his number if you need it. Pay him directly at the end. Afterwards you can save him for next time.
