In Tanzania there is only one bus per 13,200 inhabitants, in a country where intercity travel relies on buses. As a workaround to the inadequate public transport, passengers pay informal travel middlemen on the roadside to wave down car owners driving their way, which is highly unreliable with no safety guarantees and these middlemen take exorbitant cuts. Twenzao bridges this gap through a carpooling application.
