Catching a ride just got easier with the Bahamian Uber<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

The Bahamian Uber is growing driver by driver, the company\u2019s co-owner and Chief Operating Officer Xavier Knowles told \u00a0Guardian Business yesterday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steady Growth of Business<\/h2>\n

With 15 drivers, 1,500 users logged and more than 700 rides under its belt in just five months, Bahrezy \u2014 the ride sharing app \u2014 is taking off in a market where popular opinion was it could never work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a growing business,\u201d Knowles said. \u201cThe customer base is continuing to grow, and we\u2019re just trying to make sure everything is stable in terms of number of drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bahrezy is Easy to Use<\/h2>\n

Knowles, who works along with the other owner Davonte Gay, who is also chief executive officer, said Bahrezy users have been enjoying the service thus far. He said individuals who have used the ride-sharing app have complained that buses have often been too unreliable and taxis difficult to contact. They have taken a liking to Bahrezy\u2019s easy operation, being able to call a ride at the click of a button.<\/p>\n

When a user calls for a Bahrezy ride, the mobile app shows where the responding vehicle and driver are on a map of New Providence, and shows the estimated time of arrival for the pickup. The app also shows a photo of the driver that is en route.<\/p>\n

Local and International Users<\/h2>\n

Knowles explained that each Bahrezy ride has a $6 base fare and each mile is $1.25.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a huge local market and have had some international users,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
