Today we are taking you through the process.
Where do we catch Toda Rides?
Toda is a mobile application where you can catch a ride from the comfort of your home, school or workplace. It accomplishes this by matching those requiring transport services with registered available drivers nearest to them.
The first and most important step is to download the application, which is available for download on Google Play Store for Android users and the Apple App Store for iPhone users. This process will require minimum data to download and register your personal details with us.
How does it work?
In order to use Toda, you only need three things: a smartphone, the mobile app and internet connectivity. Simply download and install the application on your smartphone, sign-up personal details and get started.
To request a driver, the first thing you should do is choose the vehicle type that you want. Toda currently has four vehicle offerings - Toda Go, Toda Lux, Toda Grande and Toda Truk. The application uses google maps to pick your location, but you can also manually add your pick-up point, add your destination, get your fare estimate, confirm your request and your ride is on the way.
Our fares are dependent on time and distance travelled. Before a ride request is initiated, users can get an estimated fare, which gives an indication of how much they are likely to pay, and after the real ride, the app automatically re-calculates the fare to give you the final fare, which is normally just about or the same as the estimated fare.
The cost of all Toda rides is automatically billed through Ecocash. However, a user can opt to pay using cash, while we work on gradually integrating more payment options into the system.
By default, the Ecocash payment option is selected, and a pin request will be sent at the end of the ride to authorise payment. However, if you wish to pay using cash, make sure you select cash as your preferred method before confirming the request.
Why Toda?
Being a user-friendly and convenient app, Toda ensures passenger safety comes first. Toda is always looking for ways to enhance user experience, both when using the app and throughout the ride experience. A number of workshops are being lined up in order to ensure that drivers are up to scratch in different areas like customer service, safety and security, defensive driving, vehicle hygiene and many others. More so the organisation also charges competitive commissions, resulting in better weekly earnings for its drivers.
Simplicity
Toda is very easy to use. The interface of the app is straightforward and easy to navigate, and requesting a driver is not complicated at all. All you need is a smartphone, with the app installed, and you can start using it.
Convenience
Toda makes it very convenient to request a ride, anytime and anywhere in Harare. In instances where you find yourself in need of an urgent ride, in the middle of the night and in an unfamiliar environment, a simple tap on your phone will bring a Toda driver to your rescue.
Our mandate as Toda is to provide a reliable, affordable and safe travel option to passengers and drivers. Our average waiting time for passengers is 7 minutes and this system was designed to promote transparency as all rides are tracked in real time through the application.
The app is available for download both on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
