There is a base fare, representing a minimum fixed cost per first km – this will cover the first 1 km distance, subsequent distances will be calculated by the driver’s set price/km
  • Starting fare (fixed) = N75.00
  • After the first 1km = N50.00/km
  • Min = N55.00 (drivers will not be able to reduce price below this amount)
