From a trip to the office to the pharmacy, or supermarket, this new option is designed to give riders peace of mind.
According to the e-hailing platform, through the Uber app, not only are riders able to access safe trips, but new income opportunities are also unlocked for drivers by providing more avenues for meaningful economic opportunities, while representing innovation in the transport sector.
Uber’s Country Manager for Nigeria, Tope Akinwumi, said, “At our Global Go Get consumer virtual event we announced that this product would be available in Nigeria in the coming months, and we are proud to have kept our promise.
“We are excited to bring innovations designed to help people get anywhere and get anything as cities start to move again, while we continue to ensure that riders and businesses no longer have to navigate to multiple locations.”
