Data from DiDi Egypt shows that flexibility and easy access remain top priorities for riders navigating their daily schedules throughout the month.
“Flex” Service Gains Popularity Among Riders
During Ramadan, city movement follows a distinct rhythm, with people traveling between work, iftar events, and late-night social gatherings. According to the platform’s latest figures, DiDi Egypt’s “Flex” service accounted for 58% of all rides in Egypt as of March 6, up from 53% during Ramadan 2025.
