SafeBoda, the leading ride-hailing platform in Uganda, has recently unveiled an exciting addition to its services with the introduction of the Plus Boda Boda ride option on their app. This new offering aims to provide customers with a wider range of affordable and top-notch transportation choices, while simultaneously empowering SafeBoda's driver community with enhanced earning opportunities.
With the Plus ride option, customers can now indulge in an elevated experience that comes with several added benefits. These include an insurance cover in the event of an accident, provided by Liberty General Insurance Ltd, as well as access to experienced riders who prioritize cleanliness and passenger safety by using helmets and hair nets. Additionally, these riders are highly skilled in navigating GPS routes and adhere to the best road safety practices.
Furthermore, SafeBoda is also introducing a Saver ride option, which provides a more economical alternative, enabling customers to enjoy the trusted SafeBoda service at a lower price point. Despite the difference in names, both ride options guarantee high-quality service in line with SafeBoda's core values.
Ricky Rapa Thomson, Co-Founder and Director of SafeBoda, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating, "We're thrilled to be launching our Plus and Saver ride options on the SafeBoda app. These new services are an important step towards fulfilling our mission of making transportation safer and more affordable for everyone in Africa at the click of a button."
