Kabba started with a simple observation: one of Africa's fastest-growing cities had no reliable way for most people to get around. That gap is the opportunity.
For most people, transport isn't a solved problem — it's a daily stressor that eats time, energy, and reliability. Kabba was built to change that. Not by disrupting the status quo with technology for its own sake, but by organizing demand, building routes that make economic sense, and running operations that earn people's trust one route at a time.
“To fundamentally change how people in Ethiopia, and eventually other regions, view and use public transportation.”
