Our Mission
We believe taxi prices shouldn't be a secret.
Millions of South Africans board taxis every day without knowing if they're paying the right price. AftaRobot exists to change that — one shared price at a time.
The Problem
A taxi rank is not a supermarket. There's no price tag on the window. The fare depends on who you ask, which driver picks you up, and sometimes — whether they think you know the price.
We think that's wrong. A commuter who knows the price can't be overcharged. A community that shares prices protects itself.
What we believe
Price transparency is a right
Every commuter deserves to know what the taxi fare is before they travel — not after.
Community knowledge is power
When you share the price you paid, you protect everyone who travels this route after you.
30 seconds changes everything
It takes 30 seconds to submit a price. That 30 seconds protects thousands of commuters from being overcharged.
This platform belongs to you
AftaRobot is built on community data. Without contributors, there's no platform. You are the platform.
How the data works
Official taxi association documents
Fare boards and official schedules from associations give routes their strongest trust signal.
Commuters share what they paid
When you submit a price, it's added to the index. The more people confirm a price, the stronger the trust signal.
Every price gets a confidence score
Source type, recency, confirmations, and corrections combine into a signal that tells you how much to trust a price.
Kept current by the community
Prices are only as good as the people keeping them updated. Corrections can be submitted any time — no account needed.
