Why Komyut fares are fixed — and why that matters at 6:40 AM
No surge, no haggling, no surprises. How we set one fare per corridor, and where every naira goes.
Rush hour is exactly when you need to get to work, and exactly when on-demand prices tend to jump. We wanted Komyut to work the other way round: the fare you see the night before is the fare you pay in the morning.
One fare per corridor and window
Komyut’s operations team sets a single fare for each corridor and departure window — for example, morning trips from Ajah to Victoria Island. That fare is published before anyone books, and it doesn’t change with demand, weather or traffic.
Offerers can’t set their own price, and riders can’t negotiate one. That removes the awkward conversation entirely. Nobody has to haggle with a stranger at the pickup point.
Where the money goes
Every fare is split the same way:
- 85% goes to the offerer, paid to their bank account in regular payout runs.
- 15% goes to Komyut, and pays for identity verification, payment processing and customer support.
Because the split is fixed, offerers can work out in advance what each trip covers. Our earnings estimator on the Offer a seat page does the arithmetic for you.
Why not let the market decide?
Dynamic pricing makes sense for a fleet of full-time drivers. Komyut offerers aren’t that — they are commuters making a trip they would make anyway. Fixed fares keep things fair for riders, predictable for offerers, and simple for everyone.
The fare is set before anyone gets in the car. Nobody gets surprised at 6:40 AM.
Corridor fares for the pilot will be published before launch. Join the waitlist to be told first.
