Online taxi hailing company Uber has doubled its Nairobi passenger numbers helped by the fare cuts announced in July.

“Based on our results, driver-partners have had a 100 per cent increase in new rides per week, this means that the price cut has doubled the amount of new riders for driver-partners,” said Uber in a statement on Monday.
