In Burkina Faso, Patrick Paré is revolutionizing e-mobility with his new ride-hailing solution. His initiative is part of a drive to modernize urban transport while addressing the country's environmental and economic challenges.

LetsGo, an e-mobility solution developed by a Burkinabé startup, launched last week by Patrick Paré, offers eco-friendly ride-hailing services via a mobile application to residents of Ouagadougou.

"Our ambition is to redefine the standards of private transport in Africa and make every ride an exceptional experience. At LetsGo, every trip is designed to offer a unique and pleasant experience. We are committed to ensuring a high-quality service by focusing on three essential pillars: a commitment to safety, a personalized experience, and impeccable service," Paré stated.

The service is accessible through a mobile application, available on iOS and Android, which has been downloaded more than a thousand times, according to Play Store statistics. Users create an account, then book a taxi in a few clicks, track their journey in real-time, and benefit from transparent and competitive fares.

LetsGo offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fuel-powered taxis. With a fully electric fleet, the service aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat air pollution, a growing issue in major African cities. In addition to its environmental impact, it aims to provide an affordable and efficient transportation solution for Ouagadougou residents.

The deployment of this solution contributes to job creation and the modernization of the transport sector in Burkina Faso. "We actively contribute to Burkina Faso’s economy and culture through several commitments, such as supporting local employment by exclusively hiring Burkinabé drivers," Paré emphasized.
