Here’s how InDrive is thinking about combating offline rides

Nigeria’s ride-hailing industry is facing increasing pressure from rising fuel costs and economic uncertainty. To cope, some drivers have resorted to conducting rides offline, bypassing platform regulations and charging passengers directly.

This trend has raised concerns among ride-hailing companies like InDrive, Bolt, and Uber.
