## About the product

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**

Available via a **Web** information site, plus dedicated **Android and iOS** apps for riders and drivers.

It targets everyday riders in Johannesburg, **students** who want discounted verified fares via **Bro SCLR**, and **drivers** looking for predictable platform fees. The service also describes **vehicle-finance options** for eligible drivers and riders through selected dealership partnerships.

Bro Cabs is notable in South Africa for its subscription-based approach to e-hailing, its **SaferCity-linked safety support** (including **SOS escalation**), and reported coverage across **118 locations in Johannesburg**. The website also notes selection for the **2026 Google for Startups Accelerator: South Africa** cohort.
