For riders

Ride the city,
not the haggle.

A bajaj should be the easiest way across Mogadishu. Shacaale makes the fare clear, the driver known, and the pickup safer before you sit down.

The ride

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

The rider app keeps the important parts on one screen: where you are, where you are going, who is coming, and what it costs.

  • Fare before you request

    An estimate appears up front, based on your route. No surprise number at the end of the street.

  • Live driver tracking

    Once a driver accepts, follow their vehicle and latest location on the map.

  • Pickup PIN

    Match the four-digit PIN before the trip starts. The right ride, every time.

  • Trip history

    Route, fare, and ride details stay in your account for when you need them.

Three steps

Book it like you
already know the city.

Choose a district or a known landmark, confirm the estimate, and let Shacaale find the nearest available driver.

  1. Set pickup and destination

    Use your location or pick a familiar place from hundreds of mapped landmarks. Add your destination and see the route.

  2. Request and get matched

    The nearest available approved driver receives the offer. When one accepts, their name, vehicle, and live location appear.

  3. Share your PIN and ride

    Confirm the driver and vehicle match the app. Share your four-digit PIN, settle in, and go.

How estimates work. We combine route distance with the active fare settings, then round to a friendly number. Traffic, waiting time, or a changed destination can affect the final fare. Confirm any change with your driver before continuing.

Before you ride

Three things to check.

Match the driver name, the bajaj, and the plate to what the app shows. Then share your PIN. If anything feels off, do not start the trip.
