Over the past month, Kenya's ride-hailing industry has experienced unrest, with drivers demanding better rates to sustain their livelihoods amid rising costs. Increased competition from both local and international players has further disrupted the industry.

In response to these concerns, Little has taken decisive action to support its drivers. The company has announced a 15% increase in rates across all fleet categories, aimed at cushioning drivers against the economic challenges they face.

This rate adjustment not only ensures that drivers will now earn a fairer wage but also helps maintain the reliability, convenience, and safety of the services Little offers its clients.

“Little has always been a listening and caring partner,” said Mr. Kamal Budhabhatti, CEO of Little.

“We have heard and carefully analyzed the requests from our drivers. Despite the tough economic times all Kenyans are facing, we believe it is crucial to support the individuals who keep our platform running. This increase may result in slightly higher costs for our clients, but it also guarantees more reliable and convenient services. A happy driver will always deliver excellent service.”

Drivers have responded positively to the move with the rate increase seen as a welcome relief and a positive step toward better working conditions.
