About Bro Cabs

Bro Cabs is a South African ride-hailing platform for riders, students, and e-hailing drivers, offering upfront pricing, in-trip visibility, and a subscription model for drivers instead of per-trip commission.
Key capabilities include:
- Ride booking with upfront fares, so riders can see the price in rands before confirming
- Live trip tracking, showing progress from pickup to drop-off
- Flexible payments, including cash, card, or wallet
- Driver subscription pricing, with no per-trip commission (weekly R150/week or monthly R600/month), designed so drivers keep 100% of each fare
