TangoRide: real-time carpooling is now here!

Monday 14 October, 2019

TangoRide Limited, a London based technology company, is pleased to announce the launch of its mobile phone app, "TangoRide", for both iOS and Android operating systems. TangoRide will provide both drivers and passengers a smart carpooling platform in real-time on smart phones.



Vish Balyan, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, TangoRide Limited, commented.


‘This is a big step towards our vision to be at the forefront of shared transport and community engagement, with an app that brings a new life to carpooling. TangoRide is about offering sustainable transport at reduced costs, serving to help reduce road congestion and pollution, while building on a sharing community.’


The main features of the app are:




How it works:


After downloading the TangoRide app, users will be able to be quickly verified using the GBG IDscan platform. We know that everyone needs to take a ride at some point in time, so every becomes passenger on the app to begin with. To become a driver as well, they can simply choose to add their vehicle details and bank details to receive payments.


The app works in real-time and benefits passengers and drivers to carpool with less fuss by matching their corresponding journeys.





Pricing:


TangoRide pricing structure is designed to be a fair system, so both passengers and drivers share the cost of the actual journey. The cost of the journey is primarily the sum of the vehicle running costs, not the driver's time or their business. TangoRide only receives a small service fee per trip.


In a recent case study, a journey from Milton Keynes City to Birmingham City (70 miles) showed passengers would pay the following on a weekday at 7.30am:


Train: £20 - £40


Taxi: £70


Uber: £91-122


TangoRide: £28


While the TangoRide driver would receive £22.60.



Availability


TangoRide will eventually be available across the UK with the initial launch to be in Birmingham, Northampton and Milton Keynes.
