U.S-headquartered taxi hailing service, Uber has continued its expansion drive in Africa by launching in Kampala, Uganda today, bringing the total number of cities with Uber presence to 462.
Uber works by connecting riders with the closest available driver in the city, who picks up riders in minutes – less than 5 minutes most of the time.
Riders get to see a photo of their drivers, the car they are driving, and even see them on the app as they drive towards them. With the launch, Kampala residents can now request an uberX from their smartphones to take them to their destination, whether it’s Entebbe International Airport, Mandela National Stadium, Acacia Mall or anywhere in between.
