SafeBoda Adds a Car-hailing Service to Their App

SafeBoda has announced the immediate launch of its car-hailing service — SafeCar bringing its expertise in the boda industry to revolutionize the car and taxi industry in Uganda and Nigeria.

SafeBoda believes that the future of urban transportation is about community, supporting drivers to make more money, enhancing their welfare, and giving customers a convenient world-class cashless experience. SafeBoda does things differently – no hassle, no negotiation with a friendly, happy driver.

Rapa Ricky Thomson, the SafeBoda co-founder, and director during the launch said, “We’re very excited to launch SafeCar in our Super App with a safer, more convenient solution than what is offered in the market.” He added, “We’ve talked to drivers and passengers, tested our product, and we are going to change transportation in Uganda forever, we are going completely cashless.”

All SafeCar trips are cashless. Customers will use their SafeBoda Wallet to conveniently pay for their trips to avoid the hassle of looking for change as well as negotiating with drivers on how much they should pay. Thomson noted that “Our drivers will be happy and make more money with SafeBoda. We are in the business of making communities thrive and our car drivers will now join us.”

The company is offering balanced prices while leveraging its 1 million customers

Moses Musinguzi, SafeBoda’s very first driver and currently a Senior Operations Manager, says, “The launch of SafeCar is another opportunity for the community to grow and thrive.” “The onboarding process is smooth and friendly, in addition to the numerous benefits of being a SafeCar driver.”

SafeBoda hosts a community of over 27,000 motorbike drivers that transport customers within Kampala. Adding the car and taxi driver community will see the overall community grow as many join the company’s mission.
