Uber launched in Ghana last month, setting up Ghana to join about seven other African countries, including Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa, to currently run the service- which started in San Francisco, and has since expanded to over 60 nations and 449 cities globally.
But there seems to be increasing complaints on Twitter from Ghanaians about shortage of Uber taxis, which means they have to be waiting more than usual anytime they want to fall on Uber. The reason why Uber has been successful in many other countries is because of its affordability and quick dispatch but in Ghana the expedited service of Uber seems to becoming a problem with shortages of cars.
In response to one of these many complaints, Uber Ghana tweeted this afternoon: we are “still in testing mode so there may be limited availability from time to time as we get going.”
