Why sharing the ride works out well for Slide commuters
Sponsored feature
Thousands of commuters in Bristol have now signed up for the Slide app to take the hassle out of their daily trip to work. Slide is changing the way people choose to travel to their workplace. By sharing their ride to work Slide passengers benefit from the convenience of a taxi service at a little more than the cost of a bus.
Slide offers comfortable seats, space to read or relax in plus friendly drivers that give their service a more personal and luxurious feel. For green-minded commuters Slide offers relatively low carbon motor travel alternative to bus or taxi travel. Getting a Slide to work is as easy as booking a ride via the app and walking to a nearby pickup point – usually just 2 minutes away – then just take the ride.
Candi from Southville explains in her own words why she rates Slide:
‘Slide’s so convenient. My pick up point is about two minutes from my house and they drop me off right outside work.’
Candi’s been Sliding to work since the service launched in Bristol in 2016. She loves how convenient it is, and how much time it saves her in the mornings meaning she can hit snooze guilt-free, a lot more these days!

How would you sum up Slide?
A breath of fresh air!
How has Slide changed the way you commute?
I am NOT a morning person so Slide is a digital dream for those times when you snooze your alarm three too many times, spend forever looking for your keys only to discover they’re in your pocket or get ten minutes into your walk to realise you’ve left your laptop. It normally gets me to work even quicker than the ETA, which is always a bonus. It only costs a few quid more than the bus, yet saves you a whole lot of sanity! Slide is also hangover lifesaver!
What do you like most about the Slide experience?
The drivers are refreshingly friendly. They really are. It’s so nice to have drivers who are actually upbeat, positive and courteous in Bristol.
I’ve hopped in one to Temple Meads, the doctor’s surgery and loads of other destinations too, easily and conveniently. The price is great. £4, you can justify, unlike the crazy taxi prices.
