MAX Okada, a motorcycle-taxi hailing app some people call uber for motorcycles is playing a crucial role in alleviating the pains Lagosians face as a result of the severe traffic jam across the state, as commuters can now quickly request a motorcycle-taxi only by clicking a button on their mobile phone.

A power bike arrives to transport passengers from their pick up locations to their preferred destination. They are not restricted by the ban placed on motorbikes below 200 cc by Lagos state government under Fashola in 2012 and are thus able to reach locations informal motorcycle taxis are typically unable to access.

According to Chinedu Azodoh, co-founder and CTO of Metro Africa Xpress (MAX), requesting a MAX Okada ride is very easy, you simply put in your pickup location and destination on the MAX Okada app, get a fare estimate to help you decide if you are willing to take the ride, and place a “Request”, after which the app proceeds to connect you with the closest “Champion”.
