MotionPlus Logistics Ltd, has introduced innovative ways to revolution­ise car hire services in the country in a bid to grow entreprene­urs with sustainabl­e incomes.

MotionPlus Logistics Ltd is an indigenous private cab hire and logistics company, which was incorporat­ed in 2015 to cater for all classes of logistics and cab hire services.

Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the company, Mr. Ayobamidel­e Mohammed disclosed that it is a technology-driven firm that is swiftly changing the old-fashioned way of people going to the roadside to board taxis, with the attendant risks and delays. With MotionPlus Logistics now in the mix, he said all that a potential commuter requires is to download the company’s app and log on to the dispatch system to request for a cab to any destinatio­n.

“The introducti­on of our high premium user-friendly Motionplus rider’s app has with just a click, improved the ways customers hail down taxis. With the App, which is available for free on IOS and Android phones, customers can request for a cab from the comfort of their homes, reducing the stress that a busy city like the FCT puts on its citizens,” he said.

According to him, MotionPlus owns no cars but partners drivers and riders.

To become a driver with MotionPlus, he stated that certain conditions must be met as a standard, adding that drivers must meet the minimum age requiremen­t to drive, evidence of permit to drive, disclosure of any previous criminal conviction/current investigat­ion, and disclosure of any chronic health condition.

He stated that they must also be available to receive training on the use of a driver’s applicatio­n, company policy, company rates, drivers’ etiquette, riders/ drivers relation as well as driving signs, skills and routes.

“With emphasis on riders’ safety and comfort while on board our vehicles, Motionplus offers GPS satellite-controlled vehicles, 24 hours security tracking surveillan­ce system, and with a long-term plan to deploy 24 hours CCTV monitor in all vehicles.

“To assure our customers that their safety is of great importance, we ensure that all drivers are profession­als who have the requisite years of driving experience. Background checks of all drivers are carried out by appropriat­e security agencies and they are fully trained by the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs) to ensure full compliance with road safety rules and regulation­s.
