Dar es Salaam, 8th December 2017 - Taxify, Europe and Africa’s fastest-growing ride-sharing platform, has today launched its services in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania with hundreds of drivers signed up to the platform and ready to accept rides anywhere in the city.

To celebrate, Taxify is offering a 50% discount to riders from 8th December at 9am. The fares for this period are: Start: TZS 600, TZS 300 per Km, TZS 50 per minute, while the minimum price is TZS 3,000.

“Dar es Salaam is a huge and thriving marketplace for private urban transport. We’re very excited to launch here and are confident that Taxify can effectively contribute to healthy competition by improving the quality of service and providing an opportunity for drivers to make a sustainable income,” Shivachi Muleji, Regional Expansion Manager, said.

Taxify takes only 15% commission from its drivers, which is far lower than the 25% that competitors take. The lower commission allows Taxify to offer both lower prices for riders and more take-home pay for drivers.

Happy drivers means a better quality service for riders. Taxify believes in treating its drivers with respect, allowing them to earn more than what they receive on other platforms and providing a range of safeguards and features that help them work in the way that suits them best.

It also believes in providing exemplary customer service to riders, with a local customer support team and the option to pay for rides in cash.

Taxify already operates in 20 countries worldwide, and has seen huge success with its fairer, more transparent ride-sharing service.

The Taxify app is available on iOS and Android.
