Renowned matatu operator Super Metro has announced plans to enter the taxi business under a new brand, SuperGo Taxi.
The company made the announcement on Sunday, October 12, marking its official entry into the ride-hailing market.
The move comes just months after Super Metro resumed operations across Nairobi, following the temporary suspension of its licence earlier this year.

In an April 17 statement, the company confirmed it had been cleared to return to the road after a regulatory review.
Super Metro indicated that the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Transport Licensing Appeals Board (TLAB) had put various conditions to be met before being allowed to return on the roads.
“Super Metro Limited is thrilled to announce that we have successfully met and surpassed all compliance requirements set by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the Transport Licensing Appeals Board (TLAB). Following a thorough review, we have been officially cleared to resume operations, effective today. Our team has worked tirelessly over the past three days to address all directives, ensuring that our services meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and regulatory adherence. We are excited to once again serve the people of Kenya, providing safe and efficient transport solutions to communities across the region,” the statement read.
Super Metro is one of Kenya’s leading matatu operators, known for its disciplined service, clean vehicles, and professional crews.
Founded around 2013, the company runs major routes across Nairobi and its outskirts, including Kikuyu, Juja, Thika, Ngong, Rongai, and Kitengela.
It operates under the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) regulations and has built a strong reputation for safety and reliability.
