Shilu ANA Revolutionizes Transportation in South Sudan with Historic App Launch

Juba’s bustling streets are set to experience a significant transformation as Shilu ANA, the pioneering taxi booking application, officially launches its services across South Sudan. Heralded as the first of its kind in the nation, this innovative digital platform is poised to dramatically enhance mobility for residents and visitors alike, while simultaneously fostering growth within the nascent private transportation sector.

The arrival of Shilu ANA marks a pivotal moment for urban transport in South Sudan. Historically, commuters have faced challenges including inconsistent pricing, difficulty finding rides, and concerns about safety and reliability. Shilu ANA aims to address these issues head-on by offering a secure, transparent, and convenient way to book taxi services directly from a smartphone.

“This is a game-changer for South Sudan,” declared Mr. Dut Majak, Founder and CEO of Shilu ANA, during the launch event in Juba. “For too long, accessing reliable and safe transportation has been a daily struggle for many. Shilu ANA is not just an app; it’s a commitment to improving lives by making movement easier, more predictable, and affordable for everyone.”

Beyond convenience for the public, Shilu ANA is set to be a significant catalyst for the private transportation sector. By providing a structured and regulated platform, it offers new income opportunities for drivers, promoting entrepreneurship and professionalizing the taxi industry.

“We are empowering local drivers by giving them access to a wider customer base and a fair system for earnings,” explained Mr. Majak. “This will encourage more individuals to enter the sector, leading to increased competition, better service standards, and ultimately, a more robust and organized private transport economy in South Sudan.”

The app’s rating system ensures accountability for both drivers and passengers, fostering a culture of trust and quality service. Furthermore, by formalizing the sector, Shilu ANA is expected to contribute to economic growth through job creation and increased tax revenues for the government.

As South Sudan continues its journey of development, the introduction of Shilu ANA represents a leap forward in urban infrastructure and digital integration. It’s a testament to local innovation addressing local needs, promising a future where seamless and safe movement is no longer a luxury, but a standard for all. The app is now available for download on both Android and iOS devices, ready to connect Juba’s residents with their next ride.
