Much ado about prices: Uber drivers have staged regular strikes and protests in Nairobi in recent weeks over the low fare.
NAIROBI: The Kenyan unit of US ride-hailing firm Uber Technologies Inc has increased its fare by 20%, a move that follows protests and strikes by Uber drivers who said a lower fare made their service uneconomical.
Uber, which operates in several African countries, cut its fare in Kenya to 35 shillings (RM1.50) per kilometre last year, after local rival Little – backed by Kenyan telecoms operator Safaricom Ltd – introduced a service with a lower price.
