How it works
3 steps, all on WhatsApp. No app to download.
Get matched on your route
A driver who already makes your commute, plus 2 or 3 riders leaving around the same time.
Numbers are shared only with the people in your car.
Confirm the evening before
At 6:00 pm Ganusii asks if you’re riding tomorrow morning. Seats close at 9:00 pm. On the day, at 2:00 pm, it asks when you’re heading home. One tap each.
If someone can’t make it, Ganusii offers the seat to someone else on the route or tells everyone who is riding.
Trust and safety, on every ride.
Everyone is verified before they ride, and help is one message away while rides run.
In an emergency, call 112 or 767 (Lagos emergency) first. Ganusii is not an emergency service. When you can, message HELP so the team knows.
-
Verified before you ride
Everyone shows a government-issued ID, takes a live photo and confirms a work email. Drivers also share their licence and vehicle details.
-
HELP on every ride
Message HELP on any ride. Ganusii asks whether it’s a safety concern or a car or trip issue, takes down what happened and alerts the team. The Ganusii team is on from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm, while rides run.

Your number is shared only with the people in your car. There’s no WhatsApp group: you chat one-to-one with Ganusii.

HELP
Ganusii: I’m here, Chiamaka. If anyone is in danger right now, call 112 or 767 (Lagos emergency) first. Ganusii is not an emergency service. What’s happening?
Tap a reply to see what Ganusii does next.
Safety concern
I’ve alerted the Ganusii team now. If you’re in danger, call 112 or 767. Tell me what’s happening in a few words, and send your current location here if you can. Your report number is R-K4W3J.
Car or trip issue
Sorry about that. What happened? A few words is enough, for example: car broke down, driver is late, a rider didn’t show up.
Driver is late
Thanks, I’ve passed this to the team. Someone will follow up here. Your report number is R-MD6QZ.
Something else
Tell me what’s going on and I’ll pass it to the team.
How fares work
During the pilot there is no set price. You agree a fare with your driver and pay them directly after each ride. To change your amount later, message FARE.
-
Your offer
You say what you’d pay for a seat, one way. Ganusii shows today’s fare for the same trip by solo ride-hail as a guide.
-
Your driver’s ask
Your driver says what they’d accept for a seat, one way. Ganusii keeps offers and asks inside a fair range.
-
Agreed fare
If they differ a little, Ganusii suggests a fare in the middle, once. Your driver and riders each say yes or no. Everyone in the car pays the same fare.

Often, but not always. Every ride is confirmed ahead: morning rides the evening before, rides home by 2:00 pm on the day. If a driver or rider can’t make a morning or evening ride, Ganusii offers the seat to someone else on the route or tells everyone who is riding.
No. Everything happens on WhatsApp. You chat one-to-one with Simbi, Ganusii's WhatsApp assistant, who confirms each ride before it happens.
