Uber has officially launched Uber Moto, a motorcycle ride-hailing service in Ghana, as part of activities marking the company's 10th anniversary of operations in the country.

The service, unveiled at the British Council in Accra on Thursday, November 12, 2026, is intended to provide commuters with additional transport options, particularly in traffic-congested urban areas, while creating new earning opportunities for motorcycle riders.

The launch was led by the Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Mr. Abraham Amaliba, following a Road Safety Summit organised by Uber Ghana as part of its anniversary celebrations. Yellow Uber-branded electric motorcycles were showcased at the event, attracting attention from government officials, transport stakeholders, fleet partners, drivers and other invited guests.

Road safety takes centre stage

Addressing the anniversary summit before the official unveiling, Mr. Amaliba stressed the importance of road safety education and responsible road use, particularly among commercial motorcycle riders, passengers and pedestrians. He highlighted the need for collective efforts to reduce road traffic crashes and ensure that safety remains a priority as Ghana's transportation sector embraces new mobility solutions.

Also addressing the summit, DSP Wari Skube, a Divisional Commander of the Ghana Police Service, emphasised compliance with traffic regulations, road safety education and responsible driving and riding.

Expanding mobility and economic opportunities

Uber Moto represents another addition to Uber's mobility offerings as the company seeks to respond to changing transportation needs in Ghana. The launch comes a decade after Uber first introduced its ride-hailing platform in Accra in 2016. Since then, the company has expanded its operations to Kumasi, Cape Coast and Takoradi. According to Uber, more than 200,000 driver-partners have earned through its platform over the past decade, with over 40 percent using it as their primary source of income.

Uber celebrates 10 years in Ghana

Speaking at the anniversary celebration, Uber Ghana's Country Manager, Jada Badu, described the company's 10-year journey as a shared achievement made possible by drivers, riders and partners. "Ten years ago, Uber launched in Ghana with a simple goal: to reimagine how people move and create new economic opportunities through technology. Today, we are proud to have become part of how millions of Ghanaians move, work and connect," she said.

She acknowledged the role of drivers and riders in building the company's presence in Ghana and expressed appreciation for the partnerships that have supported its growth.

The Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Hon. Yussif Issaka Jajah, who represented the sector Minister, commended Uber Ghana for its contribution to job creation, digital innovation and economic opportunities.

He encouraged the company to deepen partnerships with tourism and hospitality stakeholders while continuing to prioritise passenger safety, driver welfare and quality service delivery.

Drivers honoured at anniversary celebration

The launch formed part of a wider anniversary programme that concluded with a cocktail luncheon and awards ceremony recognising ten outstanding drivers for their contributions to Uber Ghana's decade-long journey. Uber Ghana says it will continue to focus on innovation, safer mobility and opportunities for its driver and rider communities as it enters its second decade of operations.
