Uber seeks expansion in Africa amid opposition from traditional taxis

Uber seeks expansion in Africa amid opposition from traditional taxis
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Uber has announced that it plans to expand to Tanzania, Uganda and Ghana this year.

According to media reports, the strategy will involve convincing traditional taxi drivers to work for the company, showing them they can continue working on their own.

We feel we are at a point now where we have a strong sense for what it takes to build a successful Uber business in Africa.

However, when they don’t have a fare, they can also choose to use the Uber smartphone app to pick up passengers and make extra money.

Alon Lits, Uber’s general manager for sub- Saharan Africa, says the company plans to do a better job engaging with taxi drivers as it launches in new markets.

“We feel we are at a point now where we have a strong sense for what it takes to build a successful Uber business in Africa,” he added.

Despite its expansion plans, Uber continues to face opposition from traditional taxi drivers who see Uber as a threat to their livelihoods.

From Nairobi to Capetown and even Cairo, the online taxi hailing company has been viewed as having unfair advantage over traditional taxis and Uber drivers have faced vigilante violence from taxi drivers.

Another challenge is traffic-clogged roads, high rates of urban crime and a lack of credit cards in most of the cities that the company operates.

However, Lits remained optimistic and said that Uber plans to establish hubs in Nairobi and Lagos to act as launchpads for forays into Tanzania, Uganda and Ghana.

Currently, the online taxi hailing company operates in nine cities on the continent since it entered South Africa in 2012.

    Have you ever played in one those games where you wonder why the rest of your team-mates bothered turning up at all?

    Well spare a thought for Mpumalanga batter
    Shania-Lee Swart, who was the only player to score a run as she
    hit 160 from 86 balls in a 42-run victory
    over Easterns during Cricket South Africa’s Under-19s week in Pretoria
    on Monday.
    Swart’s remarkable innings included 18 fours and 12 sixes.
    Eight of her team-mates came and went for a grand total of no runs as her
    side racked up 169-8 in 20 overs. (The other nine runs were
    extras.)

    Easterns bowler Tumi Sekukune took an impressive five wickets
    for 15 runs – but it wasn’t enough to overcome ‘Team Swart’.

    For good measure, Swart then chipped in with 2-21 as Eastern were restricted for 127-6 in reply. http://www.wirehomes.net/

    I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I
    never found any interesting article like
    yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters
    and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
