With businesses reopening and struggling to cope with the shock of the Covid-19 impact, safe transportation for employees has become a major challenge in the capital city. “Shuttle for Business aims to solve this by providing safe and sanitised microbuses that regularly move employees through customised routes catering to the client organisations.”

“We’re enabling organisations to support their moving employees during the pandemic and beyond,” said Shuttle CEO Reyasat Chowdhury.

“By providing customised transportation solutions to organisations, we’re ensuring their employees can safely reach office on time, and this, ultimately, leads to higher satisfaction and productivity among employees in addition to reducing their commuting costs,” he said. 

Reyasat said the vehicles used by Shuttle are sanitised twice every day, with the drivers wearing masks and gloves at all times.  “The vehicles are equipped with sanitisers, masks, and gloves for the passengers as well. Full app-based support is available, with passengers being able to track the vehicles, book or cancel rides, and check detailed information about the driver.”
