    The taxi hailing service launched in Uganda in the first half of 2016. Since then, it has continued to revolutionize how many people move around Kampala City and surrounding areas. This saw the introduction of Uber Boda services to get a firm grip of the ride hailing business. However, have you ever cared to know who your driver is apart from knowing their name and vehicle number plate?

    Embrace the #UberFrontSeatChallenge.

    The American based company already has Community Guidelines in place which encourage mutual respect between riders and drivers. However, the #UberFrontSeatChallenge is an initiative to help drivers and riders get to know each other better to foster a more positive Uber community.

    For most people who hail rides, the backseat is the natural position of choice. There is some kind of bossy feeling attached to the backseat. Am guilty of cruising in the backseat each time I hail a Uber.

    It’s perfect for me to bury my face in my phone making random tweets and going about my other business. Most of the times, the only details I get about my driver when i jump out at my destination is the name, and sometimes the licence plate of the vehicle.

    However, the #UberFrontSeatChallenge is a chance to get to know the person behind the wheel while scoring a discount off your next trip! This maybe also help to reduce sleepy drivers as it creates favorable conversation environment.
