From their description of the mechanics of khep, it sounds like one flavor is drivers and passengers who connect the old-fashioned way (by hailing) using the app to negotiate a fair fare. It sounds like both sides of the transaction there don’t feel like they’re getting 25%-of-the-ride’s-worth of “safety features” out of the deal, but that the (free-ish) fare quote part of the service is serving a useful role. I wonder if there’s space for some local developer with modest ambitions to develop something priced at a low flat rate that focuses just on being a neutral, reasonable fare oracle — or if what makes it a trustworthy source is precisely the fact that the passenger could click “accept fare” and legitimately get a ride at that price.
