Matlex Ride was born in Kampala with a simple mission — make getting around Uganda safe, affordable, and reliable for everyone. We're not just a taxi app; we're a community of drivers and passengers building a better way to move.
To make every journey in Uganda safe, convenient, and affordable — connecting communities through reliable transport and empowering drivers to earn a dignified income.
To be East Africa's most trusted ride-hailing platform by 2030.
Safety first, community focus, transparency, and driver empowerment.
We built Matlex Ride around what Ugandan riders and drivers actually need — not what worked elsewhere.
From quick boda hops to airport transfers and group travel — Matlex has you covered.
Getting around with Matlex takes under 60 seconds to set up.
Join over 500 Matlex drivers earning a consistent income across Uganda. Drive on your own schedule, keep 80% of every fare, and get paid instantly to your Mobile Money account.
"Matlex Ride has genuinely changed how I get around Kampala. The drivers are always professional, the cars are clean, and I love that I can pay with MoMo. I use it every single day for work."
"Since joining Matlex I've been able to pay school fees for my children and even save for a second car. The payout to MoMo is instant and the trips come in consistently. Best decision I made."
"I was nervous about taking a taxi alone at night, but Matlex gives me the driver's name, plate number, and I can share my live location with my husband. I feel completely safe every trip."
"I use Matlex XL every Friday to take our whole team to meetings on Entebbe Road. It's spacious, punctual, and we can split the cost easily. Our company officially switched from private hire."
"The boda service is exactly what I needed for short trips in Wandegeya. They always have helmets, they know the routes, and the fare is shown before I confirm. Way better than flagging random bodas."
"I drive part-time evenings after my day job. Within 3 months I had saved enough to renovate my house. The Matlex app is simple to use and the support team helped me set up everything smoothly."
