Kenya: Uber for Tuk Tuks Arrives in Mombasa

20 September 2018

Uber today has announced the launch of its latest product, uberPOA, providing the citizens of Mombasa a safe, reliable and affordable option to move from one place to another on a Tuk Tuk by using Uber's technology. Dar Es Salaam was the first city in East Africa to receive uberPOA.

uberPOA, which means cool in Swahili, will be running alongside uberX and will follow the same strict safety measures applied to all Uber options. With Uber's technology, it is possible to focus on safety for riders and drivers before, during, and after every trip. Riders will still be able to see all uberPOA driver details, such as their name, photo, and license plate number. There will also be able to see whether others have had a good experience with uberPOA drivers and can contact customer support via the in-app help feature if there are any issues related to a trip.
