Swvl

It started with an observation turning into a realization, too many cars on the streets, wasting our limited resources: time, space and money. We had to question why we depend so much on our cars? and what are the consequent pains of moving around the city? Rush hours, traffic, terrible driving habits and unavailability of parking spots came rushing through our minds in addition to the pain of high cost of on demand services. While an affordable decent public commuting solution is not accessible, we thought how can we improve people’s lives? And here Swvl was created, revolutionising the transportation scene in emerging markets, through providing a technology based alternative to public transportation, a smart solution that solves the transportation equation, leading to: helping more commute for less, with ease and comfort. Swvl is a revolutionary idea that was born from passion, loyalty and persistence to face all challenges on the table, Swvl is not just a mean to facilitate commuting, but a hunger to strive for solutions, encourage the contribution of youth in innovation and inspire change. We are now operating in three countries; Egypt, Pakistan, and Kenya covering four major cities; Cairo, Alexandria, Lahore, and Nairobi.
