The data reveals how men and women across the continent turn to these platforms for both practical and social purposes, with motivations spanning daily routines, leisure, and unplanned circumstances. Understanding why different groups rely on ride-hailing helps operators and marketers tailor services, pricing, and communication strategies more effectively.
