Indigenous e-hailing cab service, MyKab berths in Lagos

An indigenous e-hailing car hire service, MyKab, tailored by industry professionals to deliver state-of-the-art ride-hailing experience has been launched in Lagos.

MyKab, according to the Business Development Manager of the company, Busola Agboola, will provide a solution to the myriads of problems riders’ face daily each time they hail a cab.

Registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Agboola said the company also has a working relationship with the regulatory bodies and agents to avoid unnecessary time wastage on the road by government agencies.

She added that the company has a trackable policy where riders can track their location s and share the same with family and friends, wherever and whenever.

Agboola said the service “was created to plug the disconnect between drivers, riders and the e-hailing company. These disconnects have mostly led to a massive distrust between the major players in the industry.

“So, we are building a company that is Nigerian, safety-focused, driver inclusive and that brings comfort and safety to the riders,” adding that the app company is focused on five main values which include security, compliance, partnership, customer service and value for money.

Agboola added that the company “is creating infrastructure to ensure that these drivers are being treated as they deserve, ‘partners’, thereby ending the mistreatment that has plagued the e-hailing sector overtime.

“MyKab has put in place several packages of benefits (car insurances, HMOs among others) to ensure that drivers are compensated and catered for.

“We understand and appreciate the fact that drivers are stakeholders, without them, the e-hailing sector is nothing but a fleet of cars. Thus, their mental, physical, financial and overall wellbeing are paramount to the ride-hailing ecosystem,” Agboola said.

There is the feeling today in power circles that because of the ascendancy of the Internet and its platforms of social engagements, the press as we knew it is now impotent and could be humiliated and called stupid without consequences.
