We hail oh!.. thanks for taking out time to voice out your opinions. We really appreciate it gan!. Also for the kind encouraging words, we couldn’t agree more… you’re absolutely right!! we sure do need more products like this. But the question is how many are willing to go the extra mile to deliver top notch valued added-services ( story for another day).
So our responses to some of your raised questions.
Website.
2.Noted… excellent suggestion. We would see to that.
Application & Business model.
Question 1.
Okay, so I tried this query while I was on the road, and also as soon as I got home to my PC . We were, a little taken by surprise when we read your comment of it not saving … We began to wonder if you were logged in? But I think I recollect you saying you were signed in. So I guess… its a pretty strange thing going on here eh? Anyhooo… Good thing is you mentioned this and we can fix this together abi?
If this happened to you whilst signed in and it didn’t save… chances are it might be happening to another user abi? and if that’s the scenario, that’s something definitely worth fixing right away.
But this was my own experience while checking things out… Please see the upcoming images.
1.Device: Mobile
Stage: This is me checking out the fare quote on my phone.
N:B As regards the Fare quote of the entire trip, just so that we are clear and on the same page.
Are you saying that its too good to be true( reasonable) for that amount? some faults with the pricing?
If thats the case I will talk more about the editor part and your role as a roadprepper when addressing your question on the whole point of using this service and as a roadprepper.
2.Device: Mobile
Stage: This is me accessing and confirming we still have a map display underneath in mobile viewing - ( all i did was minimise the nav panel… see that arrow 
)
3.Device: Mobile
Stage: This is me viewing the entire map . Ideally when you tap on the cards ( in the direction query panel area), the panel should minimize and redirect you to the corresponding stage of the trip. At the moment, it only redirects you to the corresponding stage( map marker) but doesn’t automatically minimise the panel so you can see only the maps and map markers.
Which certainly can be a drag, if you have to keep going back and forth to track your stage in the trip. We are totally aware of this and a fix is coming up on this ( will give a sneak peek to what it will look like) so you can move through seamlessly.
Sneak peek 1
So you might wanna check again sir, to confirm you’ve your maps loaded. and its not play hide and seek 
sir. Otherwise let us know if it persist.
Unable to save your trips
4.Device: Mobile
Stage: This is me saving the same exact trip . ( I saved it with a tag- why e no save? Papaolabode)
So I decided to modify and update the trip under a different category wasn’t sure if the trip was for school runs so i changed it to other later. ( Just to double check it doesn’t only save but can be modified)
Also just to be sure again I did the same query and saved it as a market trip- Papaola…( strange 
don’t ask me why…lool I probably should have used school as the category)
So we are really taken by surprise with your findings. Also tried this on my PC as well to be sure.
5.Device: PC
Stage: This is me viewing the entire trip and about to save it.

Question 2 .
We can totally relate with how you feel sir, sorry about that…you kinda feel like you were tricked into this community mapping app and you didn’t see what you wanted abi…
Truth is, things don’t always appear as they seem on the surface.
So before I go any further, I would like to say some few pointers but not to be braggadocios. I really think what we have achieved thus far, is crazy enough to be celebrated… and at the same time we won’t do that and pride in what isn’t a 100% delivery.
For a 2 man team ( formerly 3…long story) I think we have tried to a great extent. But we can’t praise ourselves either because, we can still do better. And you’re certainly right that initial part of the trip could have been updated by you as a user who is more conversant with that area. And that’s the whole essence of you guys joining us we can’t cover Nigeria alone. ( will come back to this)
For anyone with deep understanding on software development and what it entails, they will understand that its not always as easy as it seems , neither is it always rocket science. The challenges we have faced with getting all of these data for the whole of Lagos was crazy!!.. not to mention fare quotes. Our Government has no structure for this… if it did, perhaps you would have been seeing well detailed public transit data on Google maps, here maps, Apple maps…etc and there will be certainly no need for roadpreppers.
That been said, there is already an ongoing development on this suggestion and flagging errors. Its is not just 100% ready for deployment . Excellence is part of our culture and we don’t compromise on that.
Here is a part, sneak peek of what it will look like.
SNEAK PEEK 2
So in essence you will be able to flag down errors and edit them as a user. for both the directions and Fare quotes directly from the cards.
As we all know, new bus stops emerge, landmarks, fare quotes all change over time . and can only be kept accurate by a massive collaboration between all of us.
In conclusion to this, we are open to extra suggestions
1.on how to edit ?
2. What you may expect while editing?
and
3. The process of confirmation of an edit?
Question 3 .
Think I have answered this already… you will be able to update and give feedbacks in some few weeks.
Question 4 .
Guess you have answered it yourself… when you compare and contrast you will see the differences.
For us to say we wanna go ahead and build our own maps, that will be an absolutely ludicrous mission!. By the time we are done doing that, I bet our solution will be obsolete by then.
Thing is, we could as well built RP with map box api ( on the basis of its aesthetic feel and other few things, Btw both services are almost similar) but is it beauty alone as a user you would be interested in, or as opposed to giving you a more solid robust database( places api, street names) you can trust.
Google maps did justice on that for us. mainly for Lagos and perhaps Abuja, PH. But what about other Nigerian states?. I guess it was the most logical thing for us to do. Given they had what we needed at the time. As we scale if we need to pivot away from that,we would do just that.
Question 5.
Okay, I would love to correct you sir on that… Say I wanna go to Shibiri from Pako Aguda (Via public transport) Please name one platform that can do that for you, speedily, with ease and at your convenience in Nigeria without asking on Twitter, or calling a friend…ANY?
Asides Directions and Fare quotes for Public transit , RP also provides you estimated travel time and the distance as well . You can also save and share your trips… ( this is something I like to do , I share to my buddies on whatsapp save myself calling credit )
In every business model development phase as Geoffrey Moore describes there are , The technology enthusiasts, Early adopters, Then a chasm for you to cross to meet with your early majority pragmatist , late majority conservative and Laggards( Skeptics) .
Our current Value proposition offering, is our MVP ( we would soon cross that chasm with product improvements and other expected product feats that you users really care about). But we sure don’t wanna do a waterfall development and force feats on you… and am glad you mentioned this, because it does validate some part of our hypothesis in our business model canvas.
Also if you go back to our Landing Page under the coming soon features you will see that we are also working on real time traffic update and route rescheduling.
By the way to answer your question on repeat visit… That particular trip to Unilag I bet won’t be the only reason why you will always come to RP or the only place you will always have to go. There loads of places you might not know of, and need help with directions and fare quotes. Or is there anyone out there that absolutely knows every street and corner of Lagos? or Nigeria… Please if you do abeg tell them say we wan hire them sharp sharp!!
Its been a pleasure responding to your questions and we hope you can someday make it to one of our demo. Will be good to hear more from you.
Thank you, God bless!
your head is there! thank you… Please we’re always open to extra suggestions on improving the service.
