Social media trends always have brains behind them, either pushing a hashtag or driving traffic towards a given topic. One of such people behind these scenes is influencer Ssentongo Peter ‘Santo’.
Santo, who happens to be a fresh graduate from Gulu University, is very passionate about the digital world including the elements of digital marketing and crypto-currencies. To him, everything digital thrills him as a jolly and outgoing person.
We caught up with him at the SafeBoda Academy and he detailed to us what his experience has been like so far.
On the problems faced before using the SafeBoda app…
Santo says he always got cheated.
Since he is not the best at bargaining, he often paid more money than was meant to be for destinations with usual bodas. Plus, as a night traveler, the scare of taking a ride with a potential criminal, or someone that won’t be traceable is a nightmare.
Why he chose the SafeBoda app
He found it more than convenient when it comes to rides.
“I just order a ride from where I am and move out when he’s arrived, and the riders are good, quite more careful with you so it’s safe,” Santo says. “I travel quite a lot within town to different destinations, so I always have to use bodas and SafeBoda comes in handy, by being affordable, safe and comfortable to use.”
The best thing about the SafeBoda app?
The rides being affordable, in addition to the airtime discounts, is a milestone to Santo.
“I normally use the app to buy airtime, sometimes to buy meals when [am] lazy, and most of the times when moving out to anywhere I order rides,” he adds.
Overall, Santo saves on transport every month and he has always recommended the app to most of his friends, because he feels they too need good things.
