(a) How it works in Lagos

The rules of every Move Waka trip.

Built for Lagos streets

Trips run across Lagos — Ikeja, Yaba, Victoria Island, Lekki and the mainland corridors riders book every day, plus dedicated airport runs.

Fare locked upfront

Every rider sees the full fare before booking, worked out from distance and time. No bidding and no surge — you always know what a trip pays before you accept.

You keep 90% of every fare

Move Waka keeps 10% of the locked fare and you keep the rest. Tolls pass through at cost — they're never taken from your share.

Late nights pay a little more

Trips booked between 22:00 and 05:00 Lagos time carry a small +5% adjustment on the fare.

Adjustments are capped

If a trip is adjusted for any reason, only the single largest adjustment applies — never stacked — and it can add at most 20% to the fare.

You see the trip before you take it

Pickup, destination and ride class are shown up front, and you decide which requests to accept.

(b) Lagos pricing

The full rate card — and your take-home.

These are the real fares riders pay, locked in before every trip. You keep 90% of each fare; the figures below show what a minimum fare puts in your pocket.

Ride class	Base fare	Per km	Per minute	Minimum fare	You keep (min fare)
Waka EconomyEveryday rides	₦600	₦200	₦20	₦1,200	₦1,100
Waka ComfortExtra space	₦800	₦250	₦25	₦1,600	₦1,450
Waka ExecutivePremium comfort	₦1,500	₦350	₦35	₦3,000	₦2,700
Waka AirportAirport runs, luggage included	₦2,000	₦300	₦30	₦4,000	₦3,600

Longer trips pay more — base + distance + time. Tolls pass through at cost, never from your share. +5% on trips booked 22:00–05:00 Lagos time.
