Safety & verification

A shared ride only works if everyone feels safe.

Conductor is not a stranger arriving at your gate. It is two verified people who agreed to travel the same road at the same time — and every safeguard below applies in both directions, free, and on by default.

01

Nobody is anonymous

Identity is verified on both sides before a first trip. No anonymous seats, no anonymous drivers.

02

Both sides choose

Passengers request; car owners approve. Either can decline, at any point, without a reason.

03

Everything runs both ways

Verification, ratings, SOS, the right to suspend — the passenger and the car owner get the same tools.

04

On every single trip

Nothing here is an upgrade. Every safeguard ships with every journey, for free.

Safety you can see

The safeguards, on the screen.

Not a list of promises — the actual screens both people use, in the order a trip meets them. Scroll through one journey, from the checks before you meet to what happens if something goes wrong.

1Before a first trip

Verified before you ever meet

Identity is checked on both sides before a first trip — passengers clear NIN, phone and a liveness selfie; car owners add licence, vehicle papers and roadworthiness. You see the other’s verification and rating before any money is committed.

2Meeting up

A named place to meet, never a dropped pin

You meet at a known, categorised landmark on the route the car was already taking — a filling station, a mall, a familiar junction — colour-coded for how safe and public it is, never an unmarked spot down a side street.

3On the road

Track the whole trip, and share it live

Follow the journey on a live map, your destination and the car’s progress in view the whole way, and send a live link to anyone you trust — they follow along without the app. SOS sits on the same screen.

4If anything goes wrong

SOS on every screen, for both people

Hold SOS and your live location goes to emergency services, your trusted contacts and our safety team at once. Short of an emergency, either side can suspend the trip — it ends there, and the fare is resolved afterwards, never at the roadside.

5Afterwards

Rated, and it sticks to you

Every passenger and car owner is rated after each trip, and either side can flag a problem — raise it and your money is protected until it is put right. A name here cannot be discarded and remade after a bad trip, which is exactly what makes every rating mean something.

Every safeguard, in one place

And the full picture.

Each safeguard stated once, grouped by when in the trip it matters — so you can see the whole thing, not a highlight reel.

01

Before you travel

Identity & trust

Two-sided identity verification

NIN, phone and a liveness selfie for passengers; driver’s licence, vehicle papers and roadworthiness for car owners.

Nobody is anonymous

A verified name that cannot be thrown away and remade after a bad trip.

You see them before you agree

Verification, rating and time on Conductor, visible to both sides before any money is committed.

You choose who you ride with

Passengers request a specific car owner; the owner approves or declines. Nobody is ever assigned.

Verified communities

Choose to ride only with people from a workplace, estate or campus you belong to.

The car you’ll actually see

Make, colour and plate verified against the papers — a different car is a reportable mismatch.

02

When you meet

The first two minutes

First-meet code

A short code shown in both apps that you each confirm before the door opens.

Named landmark meeting points

Public, well-known spots — never a pin down an unmarked street.

Colour-coded landmark safety

Every meeting point tagged safe & public, use-with-care, or best-avoided.

Seat control

The car owner opens or closes seats; the passenger picks the exact seat they’ll sit in.

03

During the trip

Safeguards that travel with you

Live trip location tracking

A moving map and live ETA in the app, both sides, for the whole journey.

Share your trip with your people

A live link to family or an emergency contact — they follow without the app.

SOS on every screen

Emergency services, trusted contacts and our safety team, all at once, with your live location.

Suspend at any time

Either side can end a journey — no penalty, and any held fare is returned.

Road incidents & live traffic

Community-reported incidents and live traffic along your route.

GPS-verified pick-up & drop-off

The trip is checked against where it actually happened.

04

After the trip

Accountability that compounds

Reviews of every passenger and driver

Both sides rated after each trip — scores can’t be bought or reset.

Feedback with voice notes

Detailed feedback, including a voice note, not just a star.

Raise a complaint

An issue for a trip — for yourself, or several parties in the same car.

GPS-adjudicated disputes

Settled against the trip’s real location record.

Your money is protected

The driver is paid only after the trip runs — until then we hold it, and refund you for anything that does not happen.

05

Behind the scenes

The platform itself

Bans and suspensions

Repeat offenders barred at the identity level, with a fair appeals process.

No cash at the roadside

Every fare moves through escrow — nothing handed over in the car.

A conduct code both sides sign

Clear rules — and a team that acts on reports, not files them.

Your data, protected

Handled under Nigerian data-protection rules; delete it whenever you want.

Your money is always safe

The driver is not paid up front — we hold every fare and release it only after your trip has run. Anything that does not happen is refunded to you in full.

Either side can suspend

End a journey that has become unsafe or unworkable, with no penalty on either side.

A conduct code both sign

Clear rules on behaviour, cancellation and disputes — and a team that acts on reports.
