Spesho Taxi Ug is a Modern CAB hailing application bringing fresh competition on the Ugandan Transport market.
As we were still talking about Bolt’s struggles and tips for riding with Uber during COVID-19, there emerged a special way to escape curfew.
The application that was developed by Spesho, a multifaceted transport Solutions Company is aimed at offering reliable, convenient, and competitively priced options to Ugandans.

A deep dive into Spesho Taxi UG’s service delivery
The company is already establishing its heat map in Kampala and its neighboring areas. Spesho’s uniqueness in service lies in security, flexibility, and the diverse qualities it brings in the car hire business. We are yet to determine its reliability.
Before you even think about its services, the name SPESHO is a relatable directly-translated masterpiece. I bow to this, it is the right special name.
Imagine that evening when you are tired, and can’t drive home!
Spesho Taxi Ug offers you two alternatives; You can either choose a CAB or a Spesho Chauffeur (Virtual Driver) to get you home. The extra special Kasupu is that you can book or schedule your trip.
Let us look at its services. The Company’s creative app helps you do the following;

Reviews and Recommendation
The above excitement is a good and sad story based on my User experience. The process that seemed seamless at the beginning ended in vain. I downloaded the app well from my App store, went through the whole process but failed to receive the 4-digit code after numerous attempts. The codes were sent 2 hours later. This prompted my search for other App users and here are some of the reviews.
Waited for the verification code after 6 tries but nothing. Very frustrating

I am trying to wait for the code….and all I have to do is wait for the countdown to elapse then hit resend and again wait. What a superb frustration…

Based on the above reviews, we as a team at Ugtechmag advise you to try it out first. The local App might be experiencing some bit of technical and bug issues in the meantime. We believe that you deserve their unique services during this crisis. Your success gives us more bragging…sorry blogging rights.
Questions like “Can it step up and outcompete Uber” are a discussion we might talk about in the future. For now, SPESHO Taxi is still a cub we can’t wait to see grow.
Conclusion
We hope that SPESHO Taxi Ug overcomes these setbacks especially in such a time when the very many Ugandans are looking for its great services.
The growth of our transport industry is producing new ways of how we can get to our destinations easily. So, don’t get stuck in town when you can try the Uber App and its great features. Hit us up here or on our social media platforms if you have any better means of transport.
