The data shows that there are 1.8 million active users of the Uber app in Africa.

“Currently we have more than 29,000 driver-partners taking advantage of Uber’s earning opportunities. Drivers love being as flexible as they like; earning what they want, when they want to supplement their income,” said Uber General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, Alon Lits.

“Commitment to our driver-partners is a key priority; ensuring they receive the latest in technological innovations means they can be at the top of their game,” said Mr Lits.

From my Uber sources, Little Cab is struggling. It is fighting for 3rd place with Mondo.
As it stands, Uber is first followed by Taxify. Nearly every Uber driver also has a Taxify app to maximize profits.

Taxify is my number one taxi app followed by Uber then Little cab and the rest.

Uber sio walipa kodi, sehemu nyingi dunia wameanza kuwashtukia na kuwabana.
