After the inception of Uber, ridesharing became quite popular and is rapidly replacing traditional taxis as the preferred mode of transportation. With Uber, passengers are conveyed in air-conditioned vehicles that are not only classy but also affordable. To top it all, rides are requested via the Uber app with no hassle at all. From the convenience of your home, office or wherever you are, you simply log on to the app and request an Uber taxi. The app pairs the rider with a driver, who arrives at your doorstep to pick you up.

Uber proved to be a sought after service with its popularity soaring across many cities globally. However, people wanted to do more with the app. Questions like: Why can’t I schedule a ride with Uber arose prompting us to develop our app called Kommen. If you run a tight schedule that sees you on the road frequently, the Kommen app is for you. With Kommen, you can schedule your Uber taxi ahead of time. You can schedule your rides for up to 30 days away. The Kommen app works hand in hand with the Uber app. All you have to do is log on to the Kommen app once with your Uber account and we will subsequently call rides on your behalf. Kommen is user-friendly and convenient.
