Uber, the ride-sharing service that has set out to revolutionise the transit system globally, had a soft launch last month in Nairobi.
The $40 billion (Sh3.7 trillion) Silicon Valley start-up that has made waves in several cities from New Delhi to London made Nairobi its sixth stop in Africa after Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Lagos and Cairo. The firm currently has a presence in 200 cities in 53 countries.
