"More than 210 tonnes of CO2 offset, with more than 32,000 car journeys replaced in just 12 months."

Leading food manufacturer

A manufacturer originally chose to set up a RideTandem service due to the absence of public transportation serving the rural site. However, with impending mandatory Scope 3 disclosures, the company can also highlight the substantial CO2 offset provided by the service as well as meeting recruitment targets.

“RideTandem's customer service is available 24/7 to directly support drivers and passengers - taking the burden off our internal administration team.”

RideTandem took over the management of a shuttle bus service for a FTSE 100 company. We were able to remove an existing manual process for their team, saving the travel coordinator 10-12 hours per week.

"We use RideTandem across 5 sites using a range of vehicles from 4-seater taxis to 80-seater coaches - it’s been great to be able to do everything through a single provider."

Georgina Kirkmann

First Call Contract Services

"RideTandem has helped us accelerate our organic growth. We can mobilise new client sites quickly, without needing a local branch. And with RideTandem’s technology, we're one step ahead on absence management, backfilling roles before the bus has even arrived. It’s a key partnership for us."

Danni Bunnell

Operations Director at Paragon Meed

"I really appreciate the monthly feedback chats, and any time I call the RideTandem 24 hour support line the operatives are always very professional but also friendly (which I appreciate) even when I call in the middle of the night."

Gordon Joyce

Owner at Nevis Coach Hire

"Using the Dashboard is dead easy; we’ve had no issues at all onboarding drivers in using the Driver app, they find it very straightforward"

Ian Trigg

Roberts Travel Group

"Without RideTandem’s service, I’d be out of a job. My only options were to walk two hours or to pay for a whole taxi myself"

Rattanachai

Warehouse Operative at Urban Outfitters, Rushden

"RideTandem offers a compelling proposal in the DRT spectrum, with the ability to offer aggregated, sustainable journeys, predominantly focused on smaller vehicles (namely taxis) with options to expand in scope"

Mark Collins

Transport for West Midlands

"We’ve switched to using RideTandem as our sole supplier for worker transport. They’re flexible, easy to work with and somehow always cheaper than other companies we’ve used in the past."

Chris Fleming

Everest People Solutions

"Put simply, RideTandem worker shuttles put regular bums on seats year-round so it’s a great way to protect revenue streams and generate more where demand requires it. As well as this, offering riders the Rider App in nine languages is massive - none of RideTandem’s competitors offer this."

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?
plus icon in black

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.
