Dean, School of Transport, Lagos state University, Prof. Samuel Dean, Odewumi has applauded the emergence of the e-hailing ride in the country, urging government at all levels to ensure the sustainability of the innovation. “When you combine that with the motorcycle e-hailing you have a concept that has come to stay. Speaking on threat of the e-hailing ride, he said: “other transport operators that are not enrolled yet in the e-hailing, for instance, the Okada riders are not in good terms with the Oride or Opay. “Also most of the operators are those that convert their cars to the e-hailing vehicles, to make ends meet after losing their jobs or business. It’s just a short term survival strategy.”He said the issue of safety for both operators and riders are not fully resolved.
