From booking to the kerb, in three steps

The same as hailing a taxi, minus the haggling: you know the price before you go.

How fares, payment and safety work

  1. Say where you're going

    Pick an area of Thimphu, or drop a pin on the exact spot.

  2. See the fare first

    The fare and the travel time show before you book. That's what you pay. If the trip ends early, it can only go down.

  3. Ride, and pay the driver

    Cash, or the QR in the taxi, straight to the driver. Ogo never touches your fare.

Check the plate

You see your taxi's number before you get in, so you know it's the right car. Ogo works only with registered taxis.

Extra rides, on top of your street work

For Thimphu's registered taxis. Ogo charges riders exactly the fare BCTA sets, like every taxi, and adds riders to your day. It doesn't take your street passengers away.

  • Keep every street hail

    Ogo doesn't replace your own passengers. It sends riders when the rank is quiet, or on your way back from a drop-off. Go online when you want, offline when you don't.

  • Say no to any offer

    Each offer shows the trip, the fare and how far away the pickup is. Pass on one and nothing happens.

  • The whole fare is yours

    The rider pays you directly, in cash or to your QR. Ogo never holds your money.

  • Fill the other seats

    A shared rider pays for one seat. The other seats are yours to fill with people going the same way, as you do now.

Never from the rider's fare: it comes out of credit you buy ahead, which is only for commission and can't be cashed out.
