No more wondering where they are. FOR SCHOOLS — A TRANSPORT SYSTEM YOU CAN OVERSEE Partner with PlusBoda to run accountable transport. Every run, every vehicle, every child is visible to the school and to families — with a full picture of who is on board and where they are. SAFETY YOU CAN VERIFY Every driver is verified before joining the fleet — profile photo and government ID reviewed and approved by our team. Verification is required, not optional.

NO IN-APP PAYMENTS PlusBoda is purely about coordination and safety. There are no payments in the app — fares are arranged directly between riders and drivers. Our focus is one thing: making transport observable and trustworthy. Built for African cities. Designed so a parent always knows their child is safe.

Compass Point's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
