With broad ride hailing services to choose from to date. Boda hailing options are a must as all apps now feature the 2 or 3 in 1 options. While Uber Boda resurrected from its long rumored launch. Taxify boda is maximizing its market share as a trusted ride hailing service to take down Safeboda which still ranks at the peak of Boda hailing services in Uganda.
But then, with almost 4 Boda hailing services in Uganda namely, Uber Boda, Safeboda, Taxify boda and Mondo boda taking the lead in maneuvering Kampala traffic with safety helmets geared up for riders. Here is how they all compare to each other
Given the fact that Taxify popped into the Boda hailing industry like Safeboda dressed in green. It was more of a projected revolution that saw Mondo boda and Uber boda balance into the equation to expand their broad ride hailing options. We compare these Boda hailing options which have unique features juiced up on the relevant apps.
Price
The core reason why riders always prefer to have multiple apps on a smartphone is cost. While all Boda hailing options have similar rates charged per minute and a minimal base fare featured on all.
| Base Fare (UGX) | Price Per Km (UGX) | Price Per Min (UGX) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uber Boda | 500 | 450 | 70 |
| Safe Boda | 500 | 400 | 70 |
| Taxify Boda | 400 | 400 | 50 |
| Mondo Boda | 500 | 400 | 60 |
Pioneering the Boda hailing revolution, Safeboda has always had similar rates from the start. Although Taxify of late has dressed all riders in a discount zoned suit. Uber Boda rates are not scarely for any rider looking to maneuver the crowdy Kampala evenings.
Safety
What would a Boda hailed trip be without a rider helmet? While Kampala streets tasted the orange buffered motorbikes for over 4 years now, Taxify and Mondo Boda’s green revolution reprojected a seemingly 2 wheeler powered ride hailing service as Uber paraded it’s black and green dressed Boda hailing drivers buzzing with the Yita Uber trip request mechanisms.
Safety being a core key issue, all ride hailing services have fully trained drivers though experience grants any rider the skill to safely maneuver traffic. As a traffic norm, Safeboda drivers never cross automated lights or maneuver through narrow junctions while on a trip. Same thing to Taxify, Uber, and Mondo where drivers are cautioned for Safety of the rider. Therefore all Boda hailing options are overwhelmingly secure.
Customer Care
Gone are the days when requesting a trip would be a ride at your own risk venture. Mondo ride has never rolled out its services officially in Uganda. Comparing the service’s customer care assistance, we hardly compared it to no other. However, all Boda hailing options feature online 24/7 customer helplines. While Taxify and Mondo ride also feature a simple customer care chat application embedded within the app. The two Boda hailing services spice up safety on any requested trip.
Our Verdict
Boda hailing services are not only convenient and effective ride hailing options. But also, pose a quicker way to maneuver through any time consuming obstacles and also smushing costs compared to the usual taxi hailing services.
To us, we believe any service that guarantees the best safety mechanisms with at affordable rates spiced up with real time support would do. Although Safeboda is more secure than any other service. We prefer hooking up its counterparts due to the cost. Therefore, as more ride hailing services tease to launch in Uganda. The chronicles of modern transport services are undoubtedly redirecting Technology startups in Uganda.
