Home GCC UAE New car hailing service Buraq launched in Sharjah The initiative is underpinned by a fleet of vehicles, owned by OWS Auto by Zainab Mansoor September 20, 2020 Sharjah Asset Management (SAM) and automotive solutions platform OWS Auto have partnered to launch a ride-hailing app, exclusively for customers within the emirate of Sharjah. Buraq, the mobility and logistics initiative, will enable customers to hail a ride as well as request a delivery pickup and drop off. The initiative is underpinned by a fleet of vehicles, owned by OWS Auto. The app extends multiple benefits such as staying abreast of their delivery’s estimated time of arrival (ETA), fare estimate and route upfront, along with their driver’s details. The app booking also offers multiple payment methods including cash on delivery, card or in-app payments as well as a planned route to reduce overall lead time. The e-delivery service can manage all kinds of deliveries, big or small with live order tracking facility and proof of delivery. “The dedicated service for Sharjah shows massive co-operation between both public and private sectors. We are proud to launch UAE’s third hailing service for those looking for comfort, safety and reliability,” said Oweis Zahran, CEO of OWS Auto. Uber launched its ride-hailing services in the emirate of Sharjah in August this year.
