A ride for every trip.

From the cheapest shared ride to errands done for you, every service is priced the same transparent way and shown before you confirm.

Lowest price

Hamwe

“Hamwe” means “together”. You book one seat, and Genda automatically groups up to 4 riders going the same way. You leave from a nearby Genda stop: the app tells you which one and how far it is.

  • The price of a seat, not the car
  • Every rider has their own ride code
  • Best on busy corridors: City centre ⇄ Kinindo, Kamenge ⇄ Rohero
Example · Rohero → City centre1,400 BIF / seat

Solo × 1.15, split across 4 seats.

We shop for you

Errands

Tell us the shop, your list and a maximum budget. The driver does the shopping, ticks off each item in the app and suggests a replacement if something's missing. You get a photo of the receipt.

  • You prepay (budget + delivery) by Lumicash or EcoCash
  • You accept or refuse each replacement
  • Unspent budget comes back as Genda credit
Service fee5,000 BIF + trip

Budget up to 300,000 BIF.

Delivery across town

Parcels

Send documents, a meal or a package across Bujumbura. The driver checks your code at pickup and the receiver's code at delivery: the parcel reaches the right person.

  • Two codes: one at pickup, one at delivery
  • The receiver gets their code on WhatsApp
  • Can be booked ahead
Fare80% of the Solo price

Plan ahead

Book for later

An early flight, an important meeting? Book from 30 minutes to 7 days ahead. You get a reminder about an hour before, and the ride goes to drivers 30 minutes before pickup.

  • Solo, VIP, VIP by the hour and parcels
  • Automatic reminder
  • Cancel in the app or on WhatsApp
