all this abuse and insults the man is getting are un called for. Yes it was a marketing gaffe but learn and move on. give constructive (and or destructive) feedback but achana matuusi. the language of some elders on this board very uncouth

Agreed, this is a project capable of disrupting transportation in Kenya, Africa and the rest of the developing world. Life is short. Live passionately.

Non issue. You get the numbers, you determine the price of insurance. Granted, premiums on nipe lift will be higher than private use vehicles but lower than uber et al and matatus. Life is short.

For those signing up try to contact your insurance company or broker for a WRITTEN clarification and report back here. I raised the query as I have served on an Insurance Brokerage Firm Board and am fully aware of the implication of receiving even Shs 10 from a person you have ferried in your vehicle while having a Private Motor vehicle cover and not PSV.

Granted, premiums on nipe lift will be higher than private use vehicles but lower than uber et al and matatus. so how may private vehicle owners would be ready to pay extra on their premiums so that they may make that extra 50-100 bob a day (non-guaranteed in any event)? already enough motor vehicles are on third party coz comprehensive insurance is too much for them to handle. and terming it an non-issue is an even a bigger problem.

Lots of people are risking anyway and giving people paid for lifts even today. They will deal with insurance the way they deal with it now. Expect lots of traffic police harassment especially on major highways eg Nairobi-Nakuru when it picks up. I think boni needs an aggressive marketing campaign this festive season.
