inDrive has responded to calls for its banning in Botswana following complaints by local public transport operators.
The taxi association claimed that inDrive, launched in Botswana in December 2019, is operating without the necessary licences.
The taxi association argues that inDrive operators should be subject to the same regulations; the DRTS confirmed that it is investigating the complaint.
InDrive says that it is aware of the complaints levelled against the service. Vincent Lilane, the company’s business development rep for Southern Africa, says the Ministry of Transport in Botswana currently does not have a specific registration requirement for companies operating under this particular mobility category.
