Nigeria has 75,000+ commercial
buses on the road daily. Passengers wait 45 minutes not knowing if one is coming. Drivers burn fuel searching for passengers. Both looking for each other with zero information.
I'm building something about that. ๐๐ณ๐ฌ
#buildinpublic
Tomorrow we're heading back to a Lagos motor park.
Goal: 10 driver interviews.
We've done 7 already. Every conversation confirms the same thing drivers are losing money daily just searching for passengers.
We're building the fix. ๐๐ณ๐ฌ #BuildInPublic
Round 2. ๐
Going back to the motor park this Wednesday.
More drivers. More questions. More data.
The validation doesn't stop. ๐ณ๐ฌ
#Danfo#buildinpublic#Lagos
We thought the hardest part would be getting drivers to talk to us.
Turns out there's a bigger question:
How do you build an app for someone who can't read?
That's what the motor park taught us this week. And we already have an answer. ๐๐ณ๐ฌ
#Danfo#buildinpublic#Lagos
We hit the streets today ๐
Walked into a Lagos motor park, no app, no funding just two guys and 5 questions.
Spoke to 6 danfo drivers.
3 of them said the same thing without us even prompting it.
Same pain. Same problem. Same answer.
The idea is real. We keep building. ๐ณ๐ฌ
#Danfo
One driver. One conversation. One smile. ๐
Asked a Lagos bus driver if he'd use something that helps him find passengers faster.
He said 'Yes na, I go like am' ๐
That's enough to keep building. ๐ณ๐ฌ
#Danfo#buildinpublic
Did you know the average Lagos commuter spends 45+ minutes waiting for a bus daily? ๐
No app tells them when it's coming. No system tells drivers where passengers are waiting.
That's the problem we're solving. ๐ณ๐ฌ
#Danfo#buildinpublic#Lagos
Two guys. Zero funding. One big problem to solve๐ Soon weโre hitting the streets of Lagos to talk to real danfo drivers.
This is how we build๐ณ๐ฌ
#Danfo
Saturday morning. ๐
Just two guys with a vision and zero funding.
This month we're heading to a Lagos motor park to talk to real danfo drivers understanding the problem from the people who live it every day.
No big team. No investors. Just real research๐๐ณ๐ฌ
