Uber has internationally become a household name in many countries with its ride hailing services topping the charts everywhere. In EastAfrica, you can’t fail to mention Uber if you wish to travel by a modern taxi hailing service. However, the story is not the same in the Boda hailing sector which is so far dominated by Safeboda that recently crossed over to Nairobi. It’s by this quest that Uber now takes on Taxify boda and Safeboda in competing for the top boda hailing spot
As a matter of fact, Uganda and Kenya are so far the leading African nations with boda hailing solutions populated in major cities. Additionally, Uber boda is the newest member to rant Nairobi after a silent launch a few months back and now has rolled out 24/7 support for all Kenya passengers and drivers
With head to head competition provoking price reductions and discounts on all services, Uber boda seems to have bent the knee to Taxify and Safeboda with favorable trip fares into the growing boda boda industry. As per the competition stunt that recently saw Busy boda launch in the same square, here are the Uber boda rates in Nairobi
| Fare | Cost (Kshs) |
