inDrive expands with new safety, earnings initiatives

inDrive, the mobility and urban services platform, has unveiled new measures to enhance passenger safety and boost driver earnings in Nigeria.

The announcement was made during the 2024 Lagos Startup Week by the Senior Business Development Representative at inDrive, Dimeji Timothy, during a fireside chat.

Timothy outlined inDrive’s latest initiatives aimed at ensuring the comfort and security of passengers while providing significant benefits to drivers. “We have intensified efforts to provide necessary security features and educate users on their application,” he said.

Discussing efforts designed to help drivers increase their earnings, Timothy explained that improvements on the supply end of the company have boosted drivers’ profitability.

“Last year, we grew tremendously on the demand end, and we saw that we needed to match that energy on the supply end,” he stated.

At the start of Q1, inDrive had a roundtable conversation with stakeholders, including drivers, driver unions, and the Ministry of Transportation.

“With the feedback, we implemented new initiatives. For example, inDrive offers the lowest commission,”

Timothy added. “This is one of the things we did to help boost our supply end. Our drivers have started enjoying an increase in their earnings because of the low commission.
