‘Technology, key element in creating sustainable environment’

The General Manager for Uber, SubSaharan Africa, Alon Lits, has said technology is a crucial element in creating a society that is more efficient and sustainable.

He said Uber’s focus was on how the company could cut congestion, pollution, and parking, as well as provide access to seamless transportation, by using private cars for public good and also using new technology and today’s infrastructure.

Alon, in a statement, said, “In Lagos for example, Technology and collaboration between the private and public sector is vital in building transport systems that work. We are pleased with the plans of Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to restructure public transportation in the State. With these sort of plans in place it means that there will be less congestion, increased productivity and more efficient modes of mobility”.
