See all FAQs
Can I see who is booked on/boards a particular bus?
plus icon in black

Through our customer dashboard you will see the names of your employees, or agency staff, that have booked onto each service. When the route is running, you can see the passengers boarding the bus in real time as their QR code tickets are scanned.

What happens if something goes wrong with the bus?
plus icon in black

RideTandem shuttle buses are a fully managed service. Our 24/7 support team works to proactively manage your trips - looking ahead for issues like traffic and road closures. By doing this, we limit the number of trips that are delayed. If a bus breaks down, we work with our transport operators to source replacement buses or other transport to make sure all the passengers get to where they need to go.

Can I change the route of a bus once we've set it up?

Yes, we will also regularly suggest better/alternative routes that might be better suited to your team's needs.

What do I need to do to set up a route?
plus icon in black

We’ll meet you to discuss what you want from the service and what your particular challenges are - whether it is boosting retention, improving recruitment, hitting sustainability targets or something else. Once we’ve got a clear picture of what challenges you want to address, we’ll partner you with a vetted transport operator from our nationwide network.
