In many developing countries public transport is not comparable to the way we are used in our modern western societies. In our society we use mobile applications to look up information regarding trains, buses, metros and trams to get to our destination.

In cities from Bogota (Colombia) to Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), public transport is mainly offered via informal privately owned transport companies. These essential networks are almost invisible for governments but increase the mobility of its citizens.
