Taxi Hailing App Little which we wrote more details about here is now available via USSD. This means that the app can now be used even by non-smartphone users to hail taxis.
So far, Little has had over 1,400 drivers sign up, and the app has been downloaded more than 23,500 times on Android, Windows and iOS.
