Her
company, Annisa car, which plans to only accept women and children only
as passengers will kick off operation in South London with future plans
to expand into other parts of the city in a very short time.
Sade’s
innovation is coming in at time when Uber is facing serious challenges
in the city. Of recent there have been series of complaints from
passengers on the world’s most popular Taxi hailing App company, and
this could be an opportunity for Amnisa to take a sizable portion of the
market in London.
Transport for London (TFL), the
entity that regulates all transport activities in London, banned Uber in
October from operating within the city citing the company’s ineffectual
approach to reporting criminal offenses and its way of carrying out
background checks on drivers.
Though Uber has
appealed the TFL’s decision in court which is yet to deliver a ruling,
the emergence of services like Agboola’s Annisa car that promises better
security and safety presents another headache for Uber in London.
Agboola
was obviously excited as she shared her thoughts on the launch of the
business and the value that they have to offer to their potential
clients.
“It is quite entrepreneurial
but I never thought about it like that, I had the idea a couple of
years ago and since December 2016 I’ve been doing a lot of research and
work to put it together.
“I have
been amazed that no one else has thought of this idea before. Also a
lot of mums have children and struggle to get back into work or find a
job that gives them that flexibility and hopefully by having women-only
drivers and guardians we can provide a flexible and supportive
environment for them.
“Whether
people choose to work with us full or part-time is up to them, but we
will be offering holiday pay for people working on a freelance basis so
they know we support them.”
Meanwhile the
business has already been attracting considerable patronage with some of
the passengers already leaving positive reviews on the new taxi
company’s website for excellent service delivery.
