Born in a city queuing at empty pumps.
When fuel runs out, buses stay parked and fares soar. Genda started from a simple idea: taxis that don't need fuel.
Our mission
Reliable transport, at a fair price, that doesn't depend on oil.
We want people to cross Bujumbura on time, without bargaining and without fearing the next shortage. Electricity is produced here. Fuel has to be imported.
- Prices worked out per kilometre, shown before every ride
- A 100% electric fleet, charged overnight
- An app in French, English and Kirundi, and WhatsApp for everyone

What guides us
Three promises, kept by the system.
Honesty
The price you see is the price you pay. It's calculated by the server, not negotiated in the car.
Safety
A driver you can check, a ride code, SOS and trip sharing, on every ride.
Access
A light app, WhatsApp for people who don't want one, and cash always accepted.
Your next ride is electric.
Say “Hello” on WhatsApp or open the app: a Genda driver comes, at the price you saw.
