Can I find a taxi at night in Tana?
Yes — the app runs 24/7 and shows available drivers around you. You see the driver's identity, rating and plate before pickup, and you can share live GPS tracking with someone you trust.
Do I still need to haggle?
No. That's exactly what Misy changes: the fare is computed and displayed before the ride, the same for everyone, and it doesn't move during the trip — even in traffic.
What's the average wait time?
Under 15 minutes in urban Antananarivo, depending on the hour and district. The app shows the driver's position and ETA in real time.
Taxi or taxi-be — which should I take?
The taxi-be (shared minibus) is unbeatable on price but slower and crowded at rush hour; a private ride is direct and comfortable. Misy includes both: compare the taxi-be route and the private fare in the same app, and pick what fits the moment.
