Overview
For millions of Africans, moving between cities has traditionally been more difficult than it should be. Booking interstate transport often meant visiting crowded terminals, comparing prices manually, making cash payments, and dealing with fragmented travel information. Logistics services were equally disconnected, forcing people to rely on multiple providers for transportation, accommodation, parcel delivery, and travel planning.
Intercity was created to change that.
Today, Intercity is building one of Africa's leading travel and mobility platforms, bringing transport, logistics, and travel services together into one connected digital ecosystem that helps people move more efficiently, safely, and confidently.
Our Story
Where It All Began
Intercity's story began in 2020, when T40 Technologies was founded with a bold vision: to digitize Africa's fragmented interstate transport and logistics industry and make travel simpler for everyone.
The founding team recognized that while airlines had embraced digital booking and inventory systems, much of Africa's road transportation ecosystem still relied on manual operations, creating unnecessary friction for both travelers and transport operators.
Rather than building another transport company, T40 Technologies focused on building the digital infrastructure that could modernize the entire industry.
Intercity became the company's flagship customer platform, connecting travelers with verified transport operators while giving operators access to modern booking technology, digital payments, inventory management, and wider distribution across multiple sales channels.
The Problem
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Travel is not a luxury.
It is one of the most essential parts of everyday life.
- People travel to work.
- They travel to school.
- They travel to see family.
- They travel to access healthcare.
Businesses depend on reliable transportation to deliver goods, move employees, and serve customers.
Yet across much of Africa, planning a journey has historically required navigating disconnected transport operators, limited route visibility, inconsistent pricing, and multiple booking channels.
Intercity was built to eliminate that complexity.
Our goal is simple:
Create one platform where travelers can discover, compare, and book every stage of their journey with confidence.
Mission
Our Mission
We exist to get people, and the things that matter to them, where they're going.
Our Mission
Travel isn't simply about reaching a destination.
- It enables families to reconnect.
- Businesses to grow.
- Students to pursue education.
- Entrepreneurs to seize new opportunities.
- Communities to stay connected.
Intercity is building the digital infrastructure that makes those journeys easier by bringing transport, logistics, and travel services together into one connected platform.
Our Platform
From Bus Booking to an All-in-One Travel Platform

Since then, the platform has continued to evolve into a comprehensive travel and mobility ecosystem designed to support every stage of a journey.
Today, Intercity offers or is expanding into:
- Interstate bus ticket booking
- Driver rides (ridesharing)
- Interstate parcel delivery
- Vehicle charters

Instead of switching between multiple websites and mobile applications, travelers can manage their journeys through one trusted platform.
