Funding and donations
The rider core is free, non-advertising, and not funded through a production donation flow.
Current funding boundary
Otranspo does not show advertising, sell rider data, charge for core rider journeys, or place fundraising prompts inside departures, trip planning, alerts, maps, accessibility, or active-trip flows.
No donation or payment processor is approved or enabled. Otranspo does not currently solicit money, issue tax receipts, or represent a contribution as tax-deductible.
Conditions before any future contribution flow
- Named finance and legal owners, an approved recipient entity, and recorded spending authority.
- Plain disclosure of processor fees, currency, use of funds, refund rules, privacy, and whether a tax receipt exists.
- A separate, reversible surface outside all rider-critical journeys with no urgency, guilt, or service-access consequence.
- Reconciled receipts, processor terms, cancellation and exit evidence, and a public correction path.
