Introducing KABGO: A new way to ride on-demand

28 June, 2025

In partnership with SAPTCO, the Campus and Community (C&C) Transportation team is excited to announce the launch of KABGO – the new app replacing the previous Rekab service. This upgrade is part of our ongoing efforts to improve service efficiency and enhance the user experience across our services.  

Please delete the old app and download KABGO today from the Apple App Store or Google Play: 

 

When can you ride? 

KABGO is available 7 days a week during non-peak hours: 

  • Weekdays: 6:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. 
  • Weekends & Holidays: 6:30 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. 

Key features & tips 

  • Book for multiple passengers – even if you're not joining the ride. 
  • Booking is required – we recommend using the KABGO app. 
  • No smartphone? No problem. You can also book by calling the SAPTCO Helpdesk at 012-808-5222
