Careem launches carpooling service
KARACHI: Ride-sharing start-up Careem has added a carpooling feature to its services suite reserved for corporate clients, a press release said on Tuesday.
The carpooling service consists of three people in one car in which workers from the same organisation living in proximity will get an optimised route in their daily two-way commute. “This service is currently being utilised by multiple reputed organisations, including Nestle, Sapphire, Packages, BASF, Sadatech, Acascus, Repair Desk, etc,” it said.
Careem has also introduced a full- and half-day model, which gives clients access to a dedicated captain and vehicle for 12 hours and six hours, respectively. Customers can travel to non-active areas and take intercity rides to non-operational cities.
It has also introduced a feature where companies can avail all benefits of corporate services and bill directly to the colleagues instead of BTC or bill-to-company. “This option is already being utilised by companies like Power Cement, PICG, Hapag Lloyd, Salesflo, Maple Leaf and Daraz,” it added.
