Online transport technology company, Taxify, is set to begin operations in Accra, Ghana on December 22nd 2017.
The Taxify app will allow customers to use their smartphones to request trips from the nearest Taxify driver, who will use GPS to locate the customer, then take the customer to his or her destination.
“With competitive rates and reliability, Taxify is set to be your go-to online transportation app upon its launch,” Terver Bendega, Brands Manager for Taxify West Africa, told BUSINESS GUIDE in an interview.
She said Taxify’s focus would be to provide drivers with better revenue per ride while at the same time keeping them happy with earnings and the support they need.
According to him, such ambience should ultimately lead to a better service for clients.
He also indicated: “Both public and private taxi drivers are open to join our network of over 700,000 riders and drivers.”
In Africa, Taxify currently operates in Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa, Nairobi in Kenya and Lagos, Abuja in Nigeria.
Ghana remains the latest addition to the network.
“We want to assure commuters that with Taxify, they are in safe hands and that their trips on our cabs would leave them with sweet memories. Our secret remains that our members are well trained on how to handle the customer and treat them as kings and queens.”
