Mark Essien of
hotels.ng recently predicted on his twitter page ‘Taxify will crush Uber in Nigeria. Uber cares about quality, but
Nigerians care about price. Taxify is barely vetting cars, Uber is strongly.’ Its
quite an interesting argument to make, because while i love a good bargain, i definitely love
quality too.
The genesis of the argument is
the fact that Lagosians are not pleased with Uber, complaining about the quality of Uber’s pricing and service and comparing
them to other competitors like Taxify and Oga Taxi. Even though some experts do not believe that other competitors can ever win Uber in the ride-sharing war, from other examples around the globe and based on peculiar industry issues. Read here
Uber recently tried to appease its customers by reducing its fares by 40% in Lagos. Uber’s price reduction was in response to the latest price rate slash by Taxify, an Estonian international transportation network company. According
to Uber in a statement, “...you
can now request a high-quality ride for the same price as small chops!”
So while still hoping Uber will set up shop in
PH and let us into the mouth watering bargain, let’s find out what you
think- which would you rather choose in
a ride, quality or low price?
