Work on the
7:45.
Most of the work at 745 happens behind a steering wheel. The rest happens in eMalahleni, building the platform that keeps it punctual.
Drive with 745
Always open. Fair earnings settled the moment each trip ends, steady scheduled work, and 745 Shield on your side of the screen too. Bring your PrDP, police clearance and roadworthy. We review fast.
Join the team
Operations, support, engineering: a small team in eMalahleni with no stale vacancy board. If you want in, write to us and say what you’d make more punctual. A human reads every one.
Why we exist
To make everyday transport in South Africa punctual, transparent, and safe: for the person taking the ride and the person driving it.
What it is like here
01
One outcome, not a list of benefits
745 sells one thing: you, on time. Not affordable, not seamless, not next-generation. That discipline runs inward too. Work here is judged by whether the 7:45 actually happened, not by how much of it was busy.
02
Say the true thing, including when it is awkward
No efficiency language without specifics. No borrowed global startup tone. If a feature is not ready, the page says so; if a corridor has no drivers, the ops board says so. People who need to dress bad news up struggle here.
03
Rooted in Mpumalanga, on purpose
This is a South African transport company that happens to be built on modern infrastructure, not a global platform with a local skin. The 7:45 that matters is the one at a school gate in eMalahleni.
04
Small enough that your work is visible
There is no layer between building something and someone riding on it. That is the appeal and it is also the weight. There is nobody to hide behind, and no queue of reviewers to catch what you missed.
Roles
One of these is open today. The rest describe work we will need as the corridors grow. Labelled honestly, so you know which is which before you write.
