A Fragmented Market With No Digital Layer.
No Local Platform
No Uber or Bolt-style service is aligned with national rules, language, and local payment habits.
Cash-Only Market
Taxi services run almost entirely on cash, with limited receipts and little standardisation.
Low Data Visibility
The state has minimal insight into ride volumes, routes, pricing, and demand patterns.
Idle Driver Time
Drivers wait at stands for long periods, losing income and burning fuel without passengers.
Fragmented Service
Riders juggle multiple phone numbers and dispatchers, with inconsistent quality and pricing.
No Direct Channel
Institutions lack a digital route to reach drivers and passengers with safety information.
Vozii.ai: A Public-Value Platform.
The country's first ride-share platform designed around public objectives, not imported unchanged from another market.
Note on the name: we chose vozii.ai because vozii.com was already taken.
Cash Kept Intact
Riders pay drivers in cash at launch. No change to how income is received or handled.
Digital Coordination
Matching, routing, fare estimates, and trip records, the coordination layer the market lacks.
Compliant Data
Aggregate, privacy-respecting transport data made available to the Ministry.
Ministry Channel
A direct in-app channel for safety campaigns and public transport announcements.
Value for the Public, Not Only the Platform.
Every commercial mechanism in Vozii.ai has a matching public benefit: safety communication, transport visibility, accessibility, and digital literacy.
Road Safety
Ministry campaigns delivered to drivers and riders at the moment they travel.
Transport Insight
Aggregate demand, route, and pricing patterns to support planning decisions.
Inclusion
Programmes for seniors, students, military, and public-sector employees.
Lower Emissions
Less idle circling and waiting means reduced fuel use per completed trip.
Cash-First by Design.
Cash convenience is preserved, not removed. The app coordinates and records rides while respecting the existing cash culture, and digital payments follow at a pace the Ministry and the market are comfortable with.
Cash
Riders pay drivers directly in cash, exactly as they do today. Nothing is taken away.
Office Payment
Riders may also settle in cash at a Vozii.ai office, useful for first-time and senior users.
Digital
In-car NFC terminals and Apple Pay introduced gradually, under the Ministry’s guidance.
A Clear Division of Responsibility.
Vozii.ai Delivers
- Platform, apps, security & maintenance
- Offices, onboarding staff & driver support
- Cash-first operations and rider verification
- Dedicated in-app advertising area for Ministry campaigns
- 10% of revenue donated to the Ministry
Ministry Provides
- €250,000 launch funding for the national pilot
- Institutional and regulatory support
- Pilot programme approval in Skopje
Shared objectives
One App, One National System.
- Rider app: booking, fare estimate, driver identity.
- One app: nearby requests, navigation, earnings log, and ad-supported free tier.
- Vozii.ai offices: in-person registration, cash handling, and user assistance.
- Ministry module: aggregate reporting and message publishing (later phase).
Local language. Local rules. Local support offices.
How a Vozii.ai Ride Works
Verified identity, transparent pricing, and cash settlement, a flow that matches how citizens already travel and pay.
Register
Riders register at a Vozii.ai office with ID and passport.
Request
A ride is requested in the app, with the fare shown up front.
Ride
A verified local driver completes the trip on a recorded route.
Pay Cash
Payment is handed to the driver, or settled at the office.
Mobility that meets people where they are.
Vozii combines a modern digital service with the human access points people already trust.
One service. More ways in.
A National Category, Still Unclaimed
Open Market
No established ride-share platform operates nationally, leaving the category open to a local entrant.
Urban Demand
Skopje, Bitola, Kumanovo, Tetovo and Ohrid concentrate daily commuting and tourism demand.
Digital Readiness
High smartphone penetration alongside strong cash preference, a cash-first product fits precisely.
Positioned at the intersection of public transport policy, local employment, and digital modernisation.
First national mover

One app, two clear experiences.
Riders get full access for free, with no additional fees. Drivers can use the free plan with ads or pay €10 per month for an ad-free experience. 100% of each fare goes to the driver.
