Ridesharing has become a popular transport system since the onset of Uber, Yango, Bolt, and similar apps in Africa. In the sector, giant groups are trying to conquer the African market but they are faced with competition from rapidly expanding local startups.

Amigo is a carpooling solution developed by a Tunisian startup. The solution allows users to reduce transport costs.

 "Amigo is a cab service based on the ridesharing model. It allows you to reduce waiting time and spend convivial moments with passengers taking the same route," the platform indicates.

The solution has a mobile application available for Android and iOS devices. To register for the services, users need to create an Amigo account. Anytime they are going out, they just need to input their destination and let the closest driver pick them up. They can also share the ride and its costs with users taking the same route in a 2-kilometer radius.

The solution often offers discounts to its users. Its aim is to help reduce costs and waiting time. It also helps reduce pollution by optimizing the number of cars circulating. The startup claims more than 500 registered cars, 10,000 trips, and more than 6,000 active users. On Playstore, its Android app has already been downloaded more than 5,000 times. The data confirms the claims made by the startup, which is set on growing market share in its origin country, Tunisia only for the time being.
