Ever since launching in Saudi as its main hub for Middle Eastern market as “Easy Taxi” in late 2013, Jeeny’s mission is still aiming to support the Saudi market’s growing needs of services that makes life easier in this fast paced era, while keeping its prices at lowest costs possible for Saudis compared to similar apps.
