How to grow your money app with tuk-tuk and motorbike taxi drivers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Tuk-tuk, rickshaw and motorbike taxi drivers carry passengers short distances all day, taking small cash fares and often struggling with change. Many also pay a daily fee to the owner of the vehicle. A money app that lets passengers pay by phone and helps drivers keep track of what they earn can win these drivers, and every passenger sees your app.
Talk to drivers
Ask local tuk-tuk and motorbike taxi drivers:
- How do passengers pay fares today?
- How often do you lose a fare because you have no change?
- Do you pay a daily fee to a vehicle owner, and how?
- What would make getting paid easier and safer?
Take fares by QR code
A QR code sticker on the vehicle lets passengers pay the exact fare in seconds, with no change needed and less cash to carry.
Help drivers track their day
A simple list of the day's payments helps drivers see what they earned and pay the vehicle owner on time.
Grow through the rank
Drivers wait together at ranks near markets and bus stations. One driver on your app can bring you the whole rank and the traders nearby.
