Safaricom and Craft Silicon’s taxi hailing service Little has hit over 23,500 downloads on IOS, Windows and Android stores, with over 1,400 drivers signed up. The firm has today launched its USSD platform making it available to non-smartphone users as the firm moves to attract non-smartphone users in the country.

Customers will now be able to request for a ride by simply dialing *826# from their mobile phone bringing on board millions of Kenyans who were previously locked out due to the fact that they do not own a smartphone.

“The idea behind Little powered by Safaricom is to provide affordable and convenient cab services to as many Kenyans as possible and I believe we are well on our way to achieving this through the launch of the USSD service,” said Craft Silicon CEO Kamal Budhabhatti.

Mr Budhabhatti added, “We are also committed to our drivers’ welfare. Since our launch, Little takes no more than 15% off drivers’ earnings compared to other players in the market who take between 18% to 25%.”

Craft Silicon has also partnered with Safaricom to reward customers with airtime worth their ride up to a maximum of 500 shillings upon completion of their first and fifth rides.

Other key distinguishing features of the solution include free Wi-Fi – powered by Safaricom and Live fare which gives customers the ability to monitor their taxi charges in real time as they ride.

Little also introduced a lady friendly category, Lady Bug, with professional lady drivers to ensure women’s safety on the road.
