What you are booking
A tricycle, a vetted rider and a fare you saw first
Auto is Topsy's tricycle service, the pragya you already know from the roadside, booked through the app or this page instead of flagged down. The fare is computed on the route before you confirm, and the trip is on the same safety tools as every Topsy ride.
- Short trips, fewer detours
- Market runs, the last stretch from a trotro stop, a trip across a busy neighbourhood. A tricycle fits where a car has to go the long way round.
- Up to three passengers
- Room for you and two others, or one passenger with shopping. Bulky loads are better sent with Topsy Send.
- Always a tricycle
- If no tricycle is free on your route, the priced list says so. Topsy never swaps your Auto for a different vehicle without asking.
- The same safety on every trip
- Ride PIN, live trip sharing, SOS and a verified rider record, exactly as on a car ride.
How it works
From pickup to drop-off
-
Set pickup and destination
Your location fills in on its own, or type an address, a landmark or a market.
-
See the fare, then book
The quote is worked out on the route before you confirm. No haggling at the roadside.
-
Meet your rider
You see the rider, the tricycle and its plate as soon as someone accepts, and share the trip live if you want someone to follow along.
