On February 27, 2025, « Letsgo, » the first electric taxi service in Burkina Faso, was launched in Ouagadougou. This service aims to revolutionize transportation, not only in Burkina Faso but across Africa.
« Letsgo » is a major innovation in mobility in Burkina Faso. This electric taxi service offers comfortable, technological, and environmentally-friendly transport.
