Criminal acts such as rape, murder, and theft are some of the growing “society traumas” as clearly elaborated in the Uganda 2016 Crime and Safety report. This normally happens when walking back home on the lonely dark streets of Kampala, the capital of Uganda where a bigger percentage of the working population walk back home in the surrounding suburban areas. This has seen some resorting to leaving work early before dark which leads to underperformances and low productivity. Those who can afford late night taxis that are relatively cheaper, wait till late to leave work, this draws on family time and to an extent contributing to family breakages.
The app aims at bringing pedestrians who are taking the same directions together. Pedestrians would be able to keep track of the convenient time intervals when fellow pedestrians are taking their routes of interest to and from work. Moving together in groups is believed to boost security as each individual looks out for the other.
The public transport system in Kampala does not depend on timetables, but rather on whether a commuter bus is full or not. This has seen passengers spending a lot of productive time waiting in the commuter buses to fill up. The app would allow passengers to keep track of commuter buses heading in their direction of interest, parking points and the number of passengers left to fill up without being in the bus physically.

We are Bike Citizens and we want to get more people cycling. To reach that goal we have the full package. It started with Finn, our universal smartphone holder that attaches every phone to every bike, in a simple and clever way. Now more than 80.000 people in cities worldwide use their smartphones to track their everyday cycles with our Bike Citizens App. With more than one million journeys and six billion kilometres tracked our users actively help create better conditions for cycling in their city, as we use the cycling data to evaluate, simulate and monitor bike traffic. With sharing our knowledge we help cities become more bicycle-friendly, thus creating a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable city.

We make the recycling of old and broken electronic devices easy, attractive and sustainable by linking it with digital advertising.
