Uber may have finally bowed to the Nigerian market’s demand for a cash payment feature with its decision to test the feature in Lagos this week.
TechCabal reported that a small group of riders in Lagos will be be shown the option, in-app, to pay in cash. If they select it, the driver will be notified once the trip commences, and reminded as soon as it ends, to collect the payment from the rider.
If the test is highly successful and Uber finally decides to fully launch the cash payment option, Nigeria will become the seventh country where Uber is accepting cash payments after it rolled out the option in 6 countries.
