From a vision born during a global pandemic to a transformative platform shaping the future of tourism mobility in South Africa and beyond — inclusive of every community.
Born from resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, TMS set out to solve what the industry had ignored for too long.
Tourism Mobility Services (TMS) is a South African-based mobile super app designed to digitize and democratize tourism mobility. We consolidate ride-hailing, deliveries, professional concierge, fintech tools, and integrated safety into a single, user-friendly platform.
TMS bridges the gap between tourists seeking seamless, safe, and eco-conscious travel experiences and local operators in need of financial inclusion and income opportunities. Our platform is built on the belief that technology should empower communities, not extract from them.
Operating on a decentralized, operator-centric B2B2C model, TMS gives local entrepreneurs the digital infrastructure they need to compete, earn, and grow — from urban centres to villages, townships, and small dorpies.
TMS grew from Petro Shuttle, a shuttle service founded by Petro Maseko that demonstrated the urgent need for consolidated, safe, and technologically-enabled tourism mobility solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two commitments that anchor every decision we make.
To revolutionize global tourism mobility via a unified platform that transforms exploration into seamless, safe, and economically enriching experiences. A world where every traveller — regardless of origin or budget — has access to safe, connected, and sustainable mobility solutions.
To digitize and democratize tourism mobility by connecting travellers with safe, eco-friendly services while empowering local operators through financial inclusion and smart digital tools, ensuring no operator is left behind in the digital economy.
Operational commitments embedded into every feature, partnership, and decision we make.
We push the boundaries of what a tourism platform can be, from multi-modal transport to fintech integration.
TMS is designed for everyone. Our zero-commission model ensures every operator has an equitable opportunity.
From payment processing to emergency response integration, travellers and operators trust TMS to deliver.
Through our Namola panic button integration and vetted operator network, safety is the foundation of every feature.
Every interface decision and service offering is evaluated through the lens of how it serves real people in real situations.
Financial inclusion is not a feature, it is our purpose. TMS creates tangible income opportunities for local communities.
TMS operates as an aggregator e-commerce platform, connecting businesses and operators directly with consumers through transparent, equitable digital infrastructure.
TMS as the technology infrastructure provider — the platform, tools, and ecosystem that enables everything.
Local operators and tourism businesses who use TMS to reach customers, manage bookings, and earn income.
Tourists and local travellers accessing a full suite of mobility, safety, and payment solutions through one seamless app.
Traditional mobility platforms take 25 to 30% commission from every transaction, effectively taxing the livelihoods of the operators they depend on. TMS rejects this model entirely. By operating a zero-commission structure and providing operators with premium digital tools, marketing support, and coupon-based income streams, we create a true partnership economy — not an extractive one.
A dedicated, passion-driven team united by a shared vision to transform tourism mobility across South Africa and beyond.
TMS is built by people who believe technology should create equitable opportunity, not extract from it.
Every team member joined because they believe in the mission. We measure success by operators whose livelihoods we improve and tourists who travel safer because of our platform.
We are accountable not just to investors, but to the operators and communities our platform serves. Every decision is evaluated against its impact on those communities.
Ideas are the beginning, execution is everything. We operate with a bias toward action, measured risk-taking, and constant improvement. Build, test, learn, iterate.
Whether you are an investor, operator, tourism board, or strategic partner, there is a place for you in the TMS ecosystem.
