Uber is now letting passengers ride on motorbikes with the introduction of Uber Moto, a new service currently being piloted in parts of Johannesburg’s CBD.
The service offers a faster, more affordable way to navigate the city, and comes as way to juggle the hectic CBD traffic during peak hours.
With fares starting at just R18, Uber Moto trips cost nearly half the price of an UberGo for similar distances. Each ride is limited to one passenger per trip, with helmets provided for safety.
Uber Moto has already been launched in cities like Lagos, Bangkok, Rio de Janeiro, and Cairo, proving to be a popular alternative for urban travel.
As part of the pilot, Uber has ensured that all its key safety features remain in place, including driver screenings, GPS tracking, and emergency assistance.
