Online taxi service set to enter market with different approach

Ricardo Persaud

A new online-based taxi service, Nitro Guyana is seeking to make its imprint on the local scene by providing a faster and affordable option of soliciting a cab.

The business which was conceptualised by Ricardo Persaud, an overseas-based software engineer, is gearing up to launch later this month and has already attracted applications from over 300 drivers with the majority of them coming from Georgetown area.

Nitro Guyana’s philosophy is that a driver should not be driving around looking for passengers, but rather, focus on going to specific location.
