iTeksi, a digital layer for Cape Town’s minibus taxis
A route-planning and fare system for Cape Town’s minibus taxis, showing routes, vehicle capacity, fares, and QR-based payment.
- For
- Cape Town minibus-taxi riders, drivers, and fleet owners
- Worth noticing
- The homepage models a Khayelitsha–Sea Point trip with fare, walking legs, departure intervals, and vehicle capacity.
Field notes
The homepage separates the system into rider, driver, and owner views rather than treating transit as a single passenger app. Its examples include route legs, walking distances, fare totals, vehicle identifiers, departure intervals, open seats, and an owner view of vehicle earnings. The project says its first corridors use City of Cape Town route data and describes an association pilot as the next stage. The phone experience is presented as a home-screen web app rather than an app-store download.
