Then there is something called Airbnb. Its only a matter of time before it changes the hotel industry. There are already howls of pain in the west, and they will reach .ke at some point

I've used airbnb. Amazing choices, good pricing, good locations. Especially when youre travelling with family coz its cheaper than getting 2 or 3 hotel rooms.
Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

This should be a good way of managing capacity. Instead of Motor bikes or taxis crowing in one location waiting for passengers who may not appear for a whole day and with no hope of any other business.

Way to go

I know a few companies that have already adopted Uber as their official Taxi service and have 'forced' their employees to only use Uber for Nairobi travel. Pilots have shown 40-50% savings in such companies' travel budget. When corporates jump on to the bus enmasse, am sure the traditional taxi will die a slow and painful death. The idea is unstoppable.

At our workplace we went from using 70k per month on Delight Cabs to 20k per month on Uber.

That's a 70+ reduction in cost. Very good for business. How I wish there could be a "Uber" to compete with Kenya Powersmile

There is and its called solar.

As for the Uber war, I don't think I'm wrong in thinking that this is being fuelled by the corporate taxis that are losing business.

We all know they are the mafia. Every individual should just take their cars from these fellows. They pay you 30k, destroy your car and then charge the corporate 80k.

That brand of business is dead. However many ubers and easy taxis they destroy, it will only take one cab guy being arrested. Just like those mini skirt makangas.
Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?
