23% have left a job because of the commute

22% lower transport cost per rider
A corporate shuttle programme built on optimised routes and live tracking cut cost per rider by 22% against conventional travel reimbursement, and lifted daily ridership by 30% in its first 12 months.
70× safer trip to school by bus than by car
NHTSA data shows students are about 70 times more likely to get to school safely by bus than travelling in a passenger car.
19% pay-cut equivalent of 20 extra commute minutes
Five years of data on more than 26,000 workers in England found that 20 extra minutes of daily commuting hits job satisfaction as hard as a 19% pay cut.
33% would trade pay for a shorter commute
In a survey of 1,000 workers, a third said they would accept lower pay for a shorter commute. The average worker spends 212 hours a year getting to work.
30 min one-way commute where output starts to fall
University of California research found employees commuting more than 30 minutes each way report lower productivity and higher frustration.
109 t carbon avoided each year by one 50-seat shuttle
A single shuttle carrying 50 employees avoids roughly 109 tonnes of carbon a year, an item that maps directly onto ESG reporting.
From planning to reporting
Five steps that take a commute programme from demand data to measured results.
Model before you commit. Test a new site, a shift change or a fuel price against the same demand data.
Your rules, enforced. Max ride time, vehicle mix and depot rules stay fixed while the engine solves.

Product updates
Recently shipped
What we have shipped on the platform lately. Every release starts with a request from the field.
Shift transport
The passenger app was extended for shift workers. Employees on rotating hours see the trips that match their own shift rather than one fixed daily service.
Driver self sign-up
Drivers now register themselves on a web page of their own. It asks for the three documents we actually need, so signing up takes minutes.

We'll look at your current routes and occupancy rates and map out the savings potential.
