About BAJ
BAJ is a New Zealand multi-service transport and tourism marketplace. In one app, riders can suggest their own fare through ride bidding, book a taxi or airport transfer, arrange long-distance outstation travel, and book tours run by local operators.
Riders stay in control of what they pay, and drivers choose which bookings to accept. BAJ is developing its passenger-transport network from Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown. Tour availability can differ from rideshare coverage, and travellers should check the app or each tour listing for current booking options.

How ride bidding works
Ride bidding lets you suggest what you'd like to pay instead of automatically accepting an upfront price.
A suggested fare is a starting offer, not a guaranteed price. Availability depends on eligible drivers in your area.
