The face of Brazil

An Ipsos survey commissioned by 99 also revealed that 99Moto is the brand most used by 40% of respondents. Another significant factor for 99Moto’s preference among users is the democratic nature of the modality, which offers rides with fares on average 30% lower than using a car via app. According to data from Ipsos, 99Moto is the best rated app-based motorcycle service in the opinion of 56% of users in the cost-benefit category.

Furthermore, 66% of the rides carried out with 99Moto are carried out outside the richest regions in the main capitals where the service operates, providing an alternative to serve people who need to access steeper and narrower roads.

99Moto provides its users with easy integration with other modes of transport, such as buses, subways and trains. According to data from a survey carried out by the DataFolha Institute, at the end of 2023, 50% of passengers will choose the category for integration with the public transport system on first and last mile routes.

Security is a big differentiator

Detailed trip and passenger information is made available to the rider, and robust accident insurance covers both passengers and drivers.

Motorcyclists are also evaluated within the platform, with an average rating given by passengers after the end of the trip of 4.93 on an approval scale that goes from 0 to 5. This is a clear result of the investments that 99 makes to promote awareness about safe traffic practices, ensuring that each journey is as safe as possible.

Around 99.99% of 99Moto races are completed safely, being 14 times safer than motorcycle trips carried out without an app – which is confirmed by a study showing that DPVAT pays 57.7 compensations per million trips on motorcycles in general, while the application receives an average of 4.1 requests for the modality.

Expectations for the future
