CurbGo was built because rural and township communities deserve the same quality, safety, and convenience as urban riders — not a second-class version of it.
Most ride-hailing platforms were built for cities. Rural South Africa — from KwaMhlanga to Mhluzi to Bela-Bela — has been an afterthought. The same goes for South Africa's townships: enormous communities, millions of daily commuters, and virtually no reliable ride-hailing options.
CurbGo was founded to change that. We built from the ground up for communities where the roads are longer, the drivers know their areas intimately, and reliable transport makes a real economic difference.
Our AI matching means drivers set their known routes once, and riders are matched only to drivers who will actually serve them. No guessing. No waiting for someone who never arrives.
Every decision we make considers the impact on drivers, riders, and the communities they live in.
No surge pricing. No algorithm exploitation. Transparent fares that drivers and riders both trust.
Every driver is verified. Every trip is tracked. Every rider can share their journey in real time.
CurbGo runs on basic smartphones with minimal data. No one should be locked out by the cost of their phone or their connection.
CurbGo's matching engine is not a generic algorithm — it is built around how township and rural transport actually works.
Drivers set their preferred routes once. The AI only sends them trips that match — no more hunting for fares in unfamiliar areas.
We recruit and verify drivers from within each community. Every CurbGo driver in Soshanguve grew up knowing those roads.
Fares are shown in full before you confirm. No surge pricing. Fares in townships are calibrated to local incomes, not city pricing.
CurbGo uses under 1 MB per trip. It runs on Android 8.0 and handles patchy connections gracefully. Built for real South African conditions.
Every part of the CurbGo experience is designed around driver and rider safety — especially for communities where personal safety concerns are highest.
Every driver undergoes ID verification, licence checks, vehicle roadworthiness review, and background screening before going live on the platform.
Every trip is tracked in real time. Riders can share a live link with any trusted contact — no app download required to receive it.
A one-tap emergency button connects riders or drivers to emergency services or a designated trusted contact at any point during a trip.
Both riders and drivers rate every trip. Low-rated participants are reviewed and may be removed from the platform to protect the whole community.
