New ride-hailing platform ‘Drivver’ set to enter Pakistan market

A new ride-hailing platform called Drivver is set to launch in Pakistan, powered by a partnership between JazzWorld Enterprise Solutions and iTechnologi. This strategic MoU will bring the app to Pakistani consumers and drivers, offering a wide range of transportation options such as cars, motorcycles, and rickshaws.

A standout feature of Drivver is its ability to operate without consuming mobile data for passengers and drivers within the Jazz network. This means users will be able to easily book rides, accept requests, and manage trips without needing a separate internet package just for the app.

JazzCash will play a crucial role by facilitating digital payments within the Drivver ecosystem, streamlining the payment process for users. On the other hand, iTechnologi will be responsible for the platform's technology, service innovation, and operational aspects, while Jazz will provide connectivity and digital infrastructure support.

The ride-hailing sector in Pakistan has seen significant growth and importance in recent years. As public transport infrastructure remains limited in many areas, ride-hailing has filled the gaps, providing new income opportunities for both drivers and passengers. Additionally, the sector has begun to evolve beyond traditional ride-hailing services by incorporating a broader "super app" model.

This expanded functionality includes courier deliveries, freight transport, and grocery services, further solidifying the ride-hailing industry's crucial role in Pakistan's digital economy.
