Lunar
Tights
The company behind TheRoute.
A Rwandan technology group building the connected future of African transport — from Kigali, for the continent.
One company.
One conviction.
Lunar Tights Company was founded in Kigali on a simple conviction: movement is data — and the people who move deserve to see it. Every bus that runs blind, every passenger who waits without knowing, every operator who can't see their own fleet is a solvable problem. So we solve it.
Our flagship product, TheRoute, is the result: a real-time mobility platform that puts every vehicle, every route and every arrival estimate into one shared picture — for passengers, for operators, for the city.
Every product starts as an engineering problem worth solving properly — then keeping solved.
Kigali is home base. Every system is built for African roads, networks and realities from day one.
Transport companies aren't users to be acquired — they're partners whose systems we plug into, not replace.
Public transport changes over decades. We build infrastructure meant to still matter in ten years.
The stack under the road.
Everything TheRoute does — the live map, the ticketing, the partner integrations — runs on infrastructure the group builds and owns. One stack, deployed end to end.
Real-time telemetry
GPS ingest pipelines that keep every vehicle honest to the map — second by second, fleet-wide.
Geospatial engine
Road-following corridors, stops and network intelligence computed from real road geometry.
Integration APIs
Client keys and ingest endpoints let partner systems push occupancy and positions straight into the platform.
Ticketing rails
Seat inventory, fares, bookings and refunds handled as transactions — not spreadsheets.
Native apps
Lightweight Android and iOS clients for passengers and drivers, on the same live network.
Operations dashboards
Command-center views that turn fleet noise into decisions for agencies and platform staff.
The same stack is available to partner agencies through documented APIs and per-agency client keys — your systems talk to ours, and your fleet appears on the live network the moment data starts flowing.
We build with,
not against.
Public transport in Rwanda runs on thousands of people who already know their business. Lunar Tights doesn't replace that — it gives it superpowers.
