About Zakinn:
Ride-hailing apps spread in Syria after 2024 because they spare passengers the haggling with street taxis. Zakinn shows an estimated price, the driver's details and the car on a map; most rides are paid in cash at the end.

- Driver tracking: See the car arriving on the map.
- Cash payment: Pay the driver at the end.

Before you use it
