Getting around The Gambia shouldn't be a gamble. We've all waited too long at a garage, crammed into a beat-up vehicle, or missed something important because transport let us down.
Kairo started with a group chat. Three friends, one school run that turned into a four-hour ordeal, and a stubborn question: why is this so hard?
We didn't want to build an app. The Gambia already has WhatsApp on every phone. What we needed was a system behind the message, real dispatch, real vehicles, real drivers we could vouch for. That's the part everyone was missing.
So we built it. From the dispatch desk in Banjul to the bus on its way to Basse, every piece of Kairo is run by people who live here and ride it themselves.
