Hade

About us

Born in Cyprus, built for Cyprus.

Hade is a ride-sharing app that matches people heading the same way in North Cyprus. The name comes from the Cypriot "hadi" — on both sides of the island, it means "let's go".

Why Hade?

Everyone in North Cyprus without a car asks the same question sooner or later: "How do I get back at this hour?" The night bus has long gone, the dorm is outside town, the job in Kyrenia is half an hour from home in Nicosia.

Close to 80,000 university students study in North Cyprus, and most of them need a way between campus, dorms, the city centre and the airport every day. Meanwhile countless cars drive the same roads every day with empty seats.

Hade was founded to bring those two facts together: people heading the same way share the road and share the cost, and nobody has to haggle or wait without knowing who's coming.

Our principles

  1. Price known before you ride

    The cost share is based on distance, shown before you request and doesn't change on the way. No haggling.

  2. Both sides see each other

    Riders and drivers use their real name and photo, and rate each other.

  3. Cash, simple, on record

    Payment is cash; in return every ride's route, time and parties are recorded.

  4. A verified community

    Driver documents are reviewed by people; the community starts small and grows with trust.

  5. Two languages, one island

    Turkish and English are equal; anywhere in North Cyprus, within town and between towns.

Who is it for?

  • Students

    To campus, to the dorms, home at night and to Ercan — verify your student email to get a student badge.

  • Workers

    Same time, same road, every day; Home and Work one tap away.

  • Between-town travellers

    Nicosia to Kyrenia, Famagusta to Güzelyurt — from one end of the island to the other.

  • Drivers

    Car owners who want to take riders along the road they already drive and share the cost.
