When the current oil crisis hit the transportation sector in Ethiopia, We used the opportunity to solve the problem by introducing carpooling, which lowered passenger transportation costs and increased drivers’ earnings. We also started signing up private cars to give public service during surge hours. This campaign was so successful that we signed up 4000+ car’s within a week.We are a two-sided marketplace working in a commission business model. We are also the only new entrant in the Ethiopian ride-hailing market that is bringing enough value to drivers and passengers to start charging commissions.
