Why we exist
Passenger vehicles waste energy and space and the leading cause of air pollution, green house gas emissions and congestion. Especially in sub-Saharan Africa which being predemoninantly a used car market has some of the most polluting vehicles in the world.
Meanwhile, the underdeveloped public transport systems are inadequate to meet the growing transport needs in African cities
