PILOT Port Moresby pilot Wan PMV — pe i stret, ron i sef

Know the fare before you get in.

Wan PMV is ride-hailing built for Port Moresby: pick where you are going, see the fare, and a verified driver comes to you. Pay from the BM wallet or in cash, and if anything feels wrong there is an SOS button that reaches real people.

Sign in with your PNG phone number — a one-time code arrives on WhatsApp, or by SMS if WhatsApp cannot reach you. No password, no app store. Drivers apply in the app and are ID-checked before their first ride.

What it does

Safer for riders, fairer for drivers.

Riders

Fare shown up front

Type the destination, see the fare for each class, book. No negotiating at the window, no surprise at the end.

Safety

SOS that reaches people

One tap alerts BM staff with your live location and ride details. Areas drivers decline are learned so the next rider is warned.

Drivers

ID-checked, rated, rewarded

Drivers apply in the app with ID and licence, are approved by BM, and earn monthly tier rewards on top of fares.

Pay

Wallet or cash

Pay the agreed fare from the BM wallet — the same wallet you use in Konekt or SkulFi — or hand over cash. Either way the ride is recorded.

PMV

Pay a PMV fare

On a bus route? Pay the standard fare from the phone and show the driver the receipt — no coins, no change.

Rewards

Kilometres that count

Riders unlock BM rewards at 50, 100, 200, 350 and 500 km; drivers climb bronze, silver and gold tiers each month.

How it works

Fares are set by BM per class and distance, so the app — not the driver, not the rider — decides the price.

  2. 2Choose a class, see the fare, book
  3. 3A verified driver accepts; you see the car, plate and ETA
  4. 4Ride, then pay from the wallet or in cash — both sides get a receipt

Built on the BM rails

Built on the BM rails.

Wan PMV uses BM ID for riders and drivers, and the BM wallet for fares. The SOS feed lands on the BM staff dashboard within seconds.

  • Blockchain Melanesia is working with the Bank of Papua New Guinea to secure its e-money licence for the BM wallet.
  • Every driver is identity-checked and approved by BM staff before their first ride; approval can be withdrawn.
  • SOS alerts go to people, not a mailbox — BM staff see them live.
  • Fares are fixed per class and distance by BM, shown before booking.
  • Your phone number is your ID: one-time codes on WhatsApp (SMS if WhatsApp cannot reach you), no passwords, the same BM ID in every BM app.
Questions

Askim na bekim

The things people ask before they try it.

Where does Wan PMV operate?

The pilot runs in Port Moresby. Other towns follow as drivers sign up.

How do I become a driver?

Apply in the app with your ID, licence and vehicle details. BM checks them and approves you; you keep your rating and rewards from then on.

What does a ride cost?

Fares are set per class and distance and shown before you book. Comfort and Premium classes are available in the pilot.

Is cash still okay?

Yes. Paying from the BM wallet is quicker and gives you a receipt, but cash is always accepted.

Ready?

Ride safer. Drive smarter.

Open Wan PMV, sign in with your number and book your first ride in Port Moresby — or apply to drive.
