How TumaHikers Works
- Traveller lists a trip (example route: Birmingham → Leicester → Nottingham → Derby) with available seats and parcel space.
- TumaHiker searches for a ride (example: Leicester → Derby).
- If the route overlaps, the system connects them automatically.
- TumaHiker pays through TumaConnect (secure payment).
- Traveller picks up and drops off passengers and parcels.
Why TumaHikers Is Useful
