Uber has increased charges for select vehicles driven by highly-rated drivers in what the taxi-hailing company says will give its customers a better trip experience.

The e-hailing firm, which says it has 5,000 drivers and 363,000 users on its Kenyan database, says the new product - dubbed UberSELECT - will cost riders a minimum of Sh300 per trip, compared to Sh200 charged by taxis on its other service, UberX.
