Uber, a company that allows you to book rides using the internet, is going to start offering motorcycle taxis that are powered by electricity in Nairobi, Kenya. This is the first time Uber is doing this in Africa.
The Kenyan government is getting ready to introduce electric vehicles all over the country as a part of an eco-friendly transportation plan.
Uber plans to start with about 3,000 bikes that can carry one driver and one passenger.
According to the World Bank, there are over 1. 5 million people working in motorcycle taxi businesses in Kenya. This sector also contributes more than $1. 4 billion to the economy annually.
