Careem co-founder Magnus Olsson has revealed that he sees the region’s homegrown ride-hailing service as playing a “crucial role in contributing to the changes in Saudi Arabia,” with particular focus on empowering female drivers – or “captinahs” – from June onwards.
Since its launch in January this year, the smart car rental service has executed 60,277 journeys; which tantamount to 49,139 rental hours.
Careem said its investment in Palestine falls in line with the company’s commitment to create one million jobs in the Middle East and North Africa region by 2018.
