Our north star
Oye.cab exists to make one number trustworthy: the fare you are quoted before you ride. Everything else on the platform — the marketplace drivers pick work from, the console an operator dispatches with, the monthly invoice a company gets — is built so that number can stay honest.
The principles
Fares are computed on our servers from distance, duration, vehicle class and surcharges, and returned as one amount. No surge multiplier is applied once a ride has been requested. If we cannot quote a trip honestly, we would rather not offer it.
Work comes from an open marketplace a driver chooses from, not a queue they are ranked in. Drivers publish their own agenda, can hire their vehicle out by the day, and can see every payout that makes up what they earned.
Every trip carries a PIN that has to match before it can start. Chat is scoped to the trip so no one swaps phone numbers. A rider can share a read-only trip link without sharing their account.
A ride booked by a company assistant, driven by a fleet driver and settled on next month's invoice is still one trip with one record. We build the four products against the same booking rather than four systems that reconcile later.
Where we are
Oye.cab operates in the Netherlands, run from Book A Ride in Wolvega, Friesland. Coverage grows region by region, because a fixed fare is only trustworthy where we actually know the roads, the rules and the supply.
That is the honest constraint behind the coverage map: we would rather tell you a town is not live yet than quote a price we cannot stand behind.
New regions open where there is both rider demand and driver supply. If your town is not covered, that is the single most useful thing you can email us.
