Uber pilots two wheeler service in Johannesburg, eyes untapped South African market
- Uber is piloting Uber Moto in Johannesburg to target the two-wheeler market.
- The initiative aims to solve first- and last-mile transportation gaps in South Africa.
- Uber Moto is designed to complement the existing transport ecosystem rather than compete.
Uber's entry into the two-wheeler market in South Africa is a strategic move that could significantly enhance urban mobility. However, it will be crucial for the company to ensure that safety and regulatory compliance are prioritized to gain public trust and acceptance in a market that has yet to formalize motorcycle taxis.
