    Uber quietly introduces Tuk Tuk Service as Uber POA in Mombasa, Kenya

    Uber has quietly introduced the use of the 3-wheeled vehicle (popularly known as Tuk Tuk in Kenya) in Mombasa. The service is known as uberPOA. This same vehicle is known as Keke Napep or Keke Marwa in Nigeria.

    According to Loic Amado, General Manager for Uber East Africa, “Tuk Tuks are a popular choice across Kenya. When we launched uberX two years ago, we knew that this city would surpass our expectations, we have managed to create hundreds of economic opportunities and we are excited to create even more with the roll-out of uberPOA,” said Amado.

    uberPOA will be running alongside uberX and will follow the same strict safety measures applied to all Uber options.

    The charges for uberPOA are as follows:

    • Base fare: Kshs 10
    • Per km charge: Kshs 15
    • Per minute charge :Kshs 3
    • Minimum fare: Kshs 50

    “With uberPOA, riders will still receive the same seamless door to door Uber experience riders are used to with Uber. We believe users will be excited to have another reliable and affordable option tailored to move through the traffic on short trips around town, whether for business or pleasure,” adds Amado.

    uberPOA was first introduced in Dar es Salaam in East Africa.
