Customers using Taxify rides will now get estimates for the rides, fares and duration through Google Maps.

Those using the rides will, however, be required to open the Google Maps app on their smartphone and search for their destination, by tapping the directions and open the ride services tab next to the familiar car, public transport and walking options.

In a press statement, Taxify General Manager East Africa, Shivachi Muleji said the service tab will display information on the proximity of Taxify cars to allow customer’s book the ride.

“Having Taxify as part of the transit options on Google Maps makes it easy for riders, as it offers them comparisons between estimated arrival times, as well as fare options. This saves them time and money,” said Muleji.

The General Manager announced that the company is rolling out Taxify rides in Google Maps globally in over 15 countries including Kenya, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Hungary, Iraq, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, Mexico, Romania, South Africa and Georgia.

“Taxify has more than 15 million users and is one of the fastest growing ride addressing platform in Europe and Africa with a number of investors,” he added.

The company is among the leading European ride-hailing platform, connecting millions of passengers and drivers around the world making travel easier, quicker and more reliable.

Taxify’s efficiency and tech has enabled drivers to pay a smaller commission and passengers to pay less for their ride.
