Indicative only. Distances use straight-line geography with a road factor. Your in-app fare is the reference for the ride; traffic, waiting, or a changed destination can affect the final amount.
Why Shacaale
Built around the bajaj.
Not around a template.
Mogadishu has its own rhythm: landmarks instead of postcodes, three wheels instead of four, and a city that knows its drivers. Shacaale is designed for that reality.
Live tracking
Watch your bajaj arrive, street by street.
Follow your driver on the map from the moment they accept. The latest location, vehicle, and ETA stay right where you need them.
Pickup PIN
The right driver. The right ride.
Every ride gets a four-digit PIN. Share it with your driver before the trip starts so you always know you are in the right bajaj.
Upfront fares
Know the fare before you sit down.
See an estimate before you request, then pay the agreed fare at the end. No circling the block to negotiate.
Verified drivers
Approved people, approved vehicles.
Driver profiles and vehicle documents are reviewed before a driver can accept rides on Shacaale.
Local places
Choose a landmark, not a lecture.
Pick from hundreds of known spots across Mogadishu — markets, hospitals, hotels, mosques, and corners people actually use.
Ride history
Every trip, remembered.
Past rides, fares, and routes stay in your account, so receipts and details are there when you need them.
Safety
Every ride has a PIN.
Every trip has a trail.
Safety is not a settings page. It is built into the way a Shacaale ride starts and how it is remembered.

Profiles and vehicle documents are reviewed before a driver can accept rides.
- A pickup PIN for every trip

Questions
The short answers.
Everything you need before your first ride. Looking for something else? The full help centre has more.
How do I book a bajaj on Shacaale?
Open the app, set your pickup and destination, confirm the estimated fare, and request a ride. Shacaale finds the nearest available driver and shows you their vehicle and live location once they accept.
How is my fare calculated?
You see an estimate before requesting, based on the route distance and the active fare settings. The fare is confirmed with your driver for the trip. Always check the estimate on screen before you request.
What is the pickup PIN?
When a driver accepts your ride, the app gives you a four-digit PIN. Share it with the driver before the trip starts. It confirms that the driver and the ride match what you booked.
Can I track my driver?
Yes. Once a driver accepts, the app shows their vehicle and latest location while they are on the way to you. Keep the app open for the freshest ETA.
Do I need internet to book?
Yes. You need a data connection to request a ride, receive driver updates, and follow live tracking. Mobile data on any Somali network works.
