Trufi Association

Trufi Association calls itself a social startup located in Hamburg, Germany that provides smartphone apps for informal traffic. Informal traffic means no regular stops and passengers hop on and off along a route. Informal traffic is mostly common in South America, Africa and great parts of Asia.

They are currently looking for:

Mappers that want to help them to upload routes and snippet of routes to OpenStreetMap, e.g. in La Paz.
Cities that want to make it possible for their people to have the apps and are willing to support the local community.
Business Developers that could help them to put their social startup on sustainable feet.

In August 2019, The Trufi Association has published its Trufi App on Github and is providing in order to help cities to implement the Trufi App.
