Nairobi has topped Uber for Business (U4B) sign-ups in Africa as
more firms take up the service to manage corporate travel online.
The
capital also emerged the second-biggest market for the ride hailing
company’s business platform after London in the Europe, Middle East and
Africa region.
The platform-which first debuted in 2014- was unveiled locally in January 2015 alongside UberX service.
The platform enables corporates to track, manage and get billed for their business travel under a single account.
Out
of the 1,200 companies that have so far signed up for the service in
Kenya only half remain active for the service also available in South
Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria.
In London, over 50,000 companies have signed up to it.
“Most
companies sign up with U4B because of the reliability, convenience and
safety that Uber for Business assures their employees,” Uber’s East
Africa spokesperson Janet Kemboi said.
