The United State transportation giant, Uber has announced a 40% reduction in Lagos rates effective from Thursday 4th May 2017.
This is in response to the latest price rate reduction by Taxify, an Estonian international transportation network company, which means individuals can travel for business or explore cities for less than ever before.
According to the management in a statement, “we want to make sure that Uber is an affordable way to move around your city, so we’re dropping rates in Lagos by 40% from Thursday 4th May 2017.
“Therefore you can now request a high-quality ride for the same price as small chops!” Whether you’re running a quick errand, visiting friends or commuting to work, Uber has got you covered for less.
Uber Technologies Inc. is a transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, operating in 570 cities worldwide.
It develops, markets and operates the Uber car transportation and food delivery mobile apps.
In furtherance, the management stated that decreasing the fares should get more people requesting more rides with Uber, which leads to drivers spending more time with paying riders and standing a chance to earn the same or more. We aren’t asking drivers to just take our word for it, we are providing temporary earning guarantees until it is clear that this will be the case. These earning guarantees help to ensure driver-partners, who put in the time, don’t lose out. So get riding with Uber and experience the same rides but now at a more affordable price.
New fares for Lagos mainland:
Sample Locations Formerly Now
Magodo to Gbagada From N1,100 From N600
Yaba to Ilupeju From N1,300 From N800
Surulere to Ikeja From N2,000 From N1,200
