How Baqəme works

No algorithms setting the price. No black box. Just riders and drivers agreeing on a fair deal.

For Riders

1
Post your ride
Enter pickup, destination, and the price you want to pay. You decide — not an algorithm.
2
Drivers make offers
Nearby drivers see your post and send offers. Accept directly or negotiate — your choice.
3
Confirm & ride
Both sides confirm digitally. Phone numbers unlock. Pay your driver directly — cash or mobile money.

For Drivers

1
Join with a membership
Pay one flat annual fee. Access the full ride marketplace instantly. Zero commission per ride — ever.
2
Browse the live feed
See all open rides in real time. Filter by area and price. Accept or counter-offer any ride you like.
3
Get paid directly
Rider pays you in full. Every birr is yours. We never touch your earnings.

Your safety

Trust built into every ride

🔒
Phone numbers stay private

Your number is never revealed until both rider and driver complete a mutual digital agreement. No cold calls from strangers.

🤝
Mutual agreement system

Both sides must confirm the agreed price by name before contact details unlock. No surprises at pickup — ever.

👤
Verified driver profiles

Riders see driver photo, vehicle photo, plate number, and full details before agreeing. Know exactly who's coming.

For businesses

Your drivers.
Your riders.

Hotels, embassies, hospitals — get your own white-label transport app with custom branding, your driver pool, and your VIP rider list. Powered by Baqəme.
