LISTED global airport transfer marketplace Jayride has reiterated aspirations to boost its “Passenger Trips Booked” to at least one million per year by 30 Jun 2021 (TD 10 Sep).
Speaking at the Jayride annual general meeting in Sydney yesterday, CEO Rod Bishop highlighted the rapid expansion of the platform over the last 12 months, encompassing many more countries to now cover 85% of global passenger trips.
Jayride has launched a new “insights platform” to leverage the tens of millions of quote requests it receives, creating a “unique global big data set of high-intent traveller demand” right down to street level.
This information has the potential to empower transport companies to optimise their rates and coverage, Bishop said.
Jayride also now works with ride-share suppliers, allowing travellers to compare and pre-book local services at fixed prices.
For example, Lyft is now a top-seller on Jayride, with similar options available such as Cabify, Kapten and Mytaxi in Europe, Careem in Middle East/Africa and Grab in Asia.
Prices for ride-sharing are quoted in traveller currency and no app download is required.
