NAIROBI, KENYA: A short conversation happens inside the vehicle, and then the passenger hurriedly steps out, turns to say thank you and walks off.
Inside the car, the driver resets his smartphone. It’s a Sunday afternoon and Paul Muiruri has just finished his seventh trip of the day. And with this, he has set a new record: 10,373 trips. It’s the highest number of trips logged through the taxi-hailing app, Uber, for a Kenyan driver.
