Ride-sharing platform Uber has launched in Ghana’s vibrant capital city Accra.

With a population of over two million; increasing availability of high-speed internet; and a rapid increase in mobile phone penetration, Accra embodies a perfect environment for Uber’s booming multinational service.

He continues: ‘At Uber, we bring the world closer together by connecting global citizens to transport in a growing number of cities. We see Accra as a natural fit, because its people are willing to embrace innovation and technology and love products that are cool, exclusive and offer a new experience. We are able to deliver just that, safely, reliably and affordably.’
