CanGo (formerly SafeMotos) is developing interconnected on demand services together in a single smartphone application, aimed directly at the Central African mass market. CanGo offers a moto-taxi service that monitors, evaluates and rates its drivers safety skills and gives the user an opportunity to add a personal rating after the lift. It provides on demand ride-hailing services designed specifically for urban Africa’s affluent, middle and bottom of the pyramid classes. It also consolidates informal drivers building them into a coherent logistics backbone. Any service that involves movement, including car taxis, motorcycle taxis and delivery services benefits from the network efficiency of having all drivers on one platform.
