No. Cash is not allowed on Poparide and we provide online payment for bookings for several good reasons:
-
It helps drivers know passengers are reliable and will show up
-
It creates a record in our system that the trip happened, which provides trust and safety
-
It lets both driver and passenger leave a review on their experience after a trip, which creates accountability in our community
-
It avoids handling cash on the day, trips to the ATM, and messing around with change
-
It allows Poparide as a business to support our team and improve the service to better serve our community
We flag cash-related messages and if we see repeated attempts to pay cash, we will suspend your account, as you are not supporting the community.
