As part of effort to ease difficulties faced by passengers as well as offer dependable commute to riders in Edo State, PayRide, an indigenous ride-hailing service, has launched its online taxi services in Edo State.
At the official launch of the e-hailing service in Benin City, Joseph Bamidele, managing director of the car service, said the app-supported ride-hailing service would bridge the gap that is already created in the transportation industry in a bid to meet the transportation needs of Nigerians.
He envisaged that the online car service would be expanded to provide premium services to those in Abuja, Lagos, Port-Harcourt and Asaba.
“PayRide is focused on what we have to offer. We are mindful of those who are running similar services but we have our niche we have carved out for ourselves.

“We have our ambassadors that were unveiled today; they will bridge conflict gaps that usually occur between the riders and driver-partners. The ambassadors will give in their best to ensure customers are satisfied,” he assured.
Earlier, Oloruntoba Ifetuyi, brand and business development manager of the company, said they have premium services for ages between 16 and 45, as well as for ages from 45 to 70.
“Beyond the premium services, we offer corporate services where you can hire exotic vehicles for weddings, parties and conferences. Also, we have ambulance services. We intend to provide WiFi services for passengers.
“Download the PayRide App from Google play store for Android and Apple store for iPhone users. With just a click on the button of the app you can make a request, and a driver will pick you to your destination,” he said.
