Taxify, a ride-sharing platform, has unveiled a new XL feature on the platform. The feature is an addition to help simplify travel within and around Kampala.
“The XL feature is one of the options that Taxify has created for those riding/travelling in big groups. We currently have a standard category that accommodates a maximum of four people and a boda category that can carry one. The XL category will give people the option of travelling in groups of up to 6.” said Shivachi Muleji, Regional Manager East Africa.
Drivers of the XL category vehicles have to go through the same training as drivers of the standard category. They are also required to have a driving permit and National ID. The vehicles must be manufactured from 2000 onwards and have a third party insurance sticker covering 6 people.
“We will maintain the same level of service and driver quality to ensure that our customers feel safe and enjoy their experience while using Taxify, ” added Shivachi. “The XL feature will help those who want to travel as a group or family without spending a lot of money.”
Taxify XL will launch at a 10% discount with fares at 2,500 UGX Base fare, 150 UGX per Minute, 850 UGX per KM and 6000 UGX Minimum Fare.
