For Drivers
Drive planned routes.
Earn with less stress.
RydeCircle is built for Lagos drivers who already move through the city and want to earn from empty seats on planned routes, with verified riders and transparent payouts.
Why it benefits drivers
More order.
Less chaos.
Less car damage at bus stops
Passengers meet you at planned pickup points. Less squeezing into crowded bus stops, fewer sudden stops, and less wear from chasing random passengers.
Verified passengers only
Riders register before booking, so you are not carrying unknown street passengers. You see booking details and can report issues through the platform.
Planned routes, predictable income
Publish routes you already drive. Seats can be booked ahead, making income easier to forecast than waiting roadside for demand.
No Agbero harassment
Because trips are pre-booked and organized through the platform, you reduce exposure to bus stop tout pressure and cash disputes.
Create your own route plan
Choose your corridors, days, morning/evening times, available seats, and fare guidance. Operations reviews and activates routes that fit demand.
Lower empty-seat waste
Turn daily commuting space into paid seats while already going in that direction. RydeCircle helps you earn from empty seats without changing your whole day.
Transparent capped commission
Platform commission is 5% per completed paid trip, capped at NGN 1,000, so high-value trips do not keep increasing your platform fee.
Documented support trail
Bookings, cancellations, complaints, and payments are recorded, giving you a clear history if something goes wrong.
Safer passenger behavior
Riders agree to platform conduct rules: seatbelts, no smoking, no off-platform solicitation, and respect for your vehicle.
Onboarding process
From app download
to first trip.
Download app
Get the RydeCircle driver app from the store, register, and complete onboarding in-app.
Create profile
Add personal, vehicle, route, document, and payout details in the app.
Manual review
Operations checks identity, vehicle, documents, and route quality.
Route setup
Create your morning/evening route plan and available seats.
Go live
Approved routes become bookable and riders can reserve seats.
Current commission
RydeCircle's current platform commission is 5% per completed paid trip, capped at NGN 1,000. That means the commission never goes above NGN 1,000 for a single completed trip, even when the fare is higher.
Earnings clarity
Know your
maximum fee.
Requirements
Before you go live.
Download driver app
Download and manage trips in-app.
Driver onboarding happens in the RydeCircle driver app. Download the app, create your driver profile, upload documents, and create your planned routes from there.
What you might still add
Useful driver details.
Payout timing
Drivers are paid immediately after completed trips, less the 5% platform commission capped at NGN 1,000. Bank settlement timing can still depend on payment providers.
Cancellation/no-show rules
Explain how riders are handled when they do not show up, cancel late, or dispute a trip.
Route approval rules
Explain how operations decides if a driver-created route is approved, adjusted, or paused.
