Ride like a local, from day one
Built for people who don't yet know the routes, visitors, newcomers, and anyone heading somewhere new.
- 01
Made for newcomers
No local knowledge needed. We name the stop, the car, and the mate's shout, so a first-timer or a foreigner can ride with confidence.
- 02
Safety first
Clear guidance on where to stand, how to board, and the hand signals every rider uses, so a new city never catches you out.
- 03
Works offline
Search and directions run on your phone. Once the map loads, you need no signal and no data to find your way.
- 04
Always free
No fares, no ads, no login. A community project mapping Accra's trotros so everyone can get around.
How it works
Three steps to anywhere
From "where am I even going?" to sitting in the right trotro.
02
Walk to the stop & listen
We show the boarding spot on a map and the exact words the mate will shout, so you know which car to wave down.
03
Board, ride & alight
Follow the stop-by-stop list, and we'll tell you exactly what to say when it's time to get down.
Riding a trotro in Accra
New here? Ride with confidence.
Trotros have no fixed timetable and often no destination board. Our safety-first guide covers boarding, fares and etiquette, starting with the one thing that matters most: reading the mate's call.
Decode the shout
Understanding the mate's calls
The mate calls the final destination first, then the important stops along the way.
