Teliman has launched the very first on-demand taxi-moto service in Bamako, connecting urban commuters with professional drivers (trained, equipped and fully insured) in Africa’s fastest growing capital (Bamako). Rather than “disrupting” the local eco-system, Teliman aims at developing innovative solutions to create shared value for a communitywhere public transportation is highly insufficient and 600,000+ passengers struggle every day to commute.
